| Datura metel Purple Devil's Trumpet |
|
The plant flowers nearly all the summer. The flowers are large and handsome,
about 3 inches in length, growing singly on short stems springing from the axils
of the leaves or at the forking of the branches. The calyx is long, tubular and
somewhat swollen below, and very sharply five-angled, surmounted by five sharp
teeth. The corolla, folded and only half-opened, is funnel-shaped, of a pure
white, with six prominent ribs, which are extended into the same number of sharp
pointed segments. The flowers open in the evening and on cloudy days for the
attraction of night-flying moths, and emit a powerful fragrance.
Datura metel
Purple Devil's Trumpet
Native to the Southwest and Mexico, Datura Metel is a member of the Nightshade family and related to Jimsonweeds. Now grown mainly for its showy, prolific trumpet flowers, it has been used since ancient times in sacred ceremonies and as a witch's herb. The 7" upright flowers are a striking purple and white.
Datura grows 3 to 5' tall and prefers sun.
Flowers are very fragrant and the fragrance can be smelled from quite a
distance. I can smell them as soon as I walk into the 96' greenhouse! Many folks
like to grow them in the house because of their fragrance.
Hardy zone 7 or higher and grown as perennial. In zones lower than 7
they are grown as an annual or cut back and wintered inside in a sunny window.
