Description

The listing, Double Purple Devil's Trumpet Seeds (Datura Metel) has ended.

Datura is a perennial in zones 9 and warmer and usually lives about 4 or 5 years under good conditions. Grow as an annual in colder zones.

Datura’s produce several seed pods during the year and thrive in high heat, particularly in humid areas. Each plant can have several blooms open at any given time. They are very rapid growing plants in full sun or partial shade. Very attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and sphinx moths.

Datura’s can be started in pots or directly in the garden after last frost; they also make a wonderful container plant on patios or decks. They transplant easily while small, but are more difficult to move after established in the garden.

The plants/seeds/blooms are poisonous.

They're yes, poisonous.. but not entirely poisonous. The plant contains toxins (Atropine/Scolopamine) and if you your body ingests enough you can die. You're actually at risk of going into a delirium and/or coma before dying though sadly. Yes, the plants poisons can seep through your skin. I would gladly bid on these :D
