(Datura wrightii)
D. wrightii, also known as “Jimson weed” or “sacred datura,” is in the nightshade family that has large leaves and large, tubular, white flowers that bloom April–October. It grows up to 4 ft. tall, but can become very large and laterally sprawling. This plant grows well in disturbed areas like roadsides and sandy washes at elevations of 1,000-6,500 ft. Datura is pollinated by moths, but is toxic to humans. Plant in partial to full sun, in wet to dry conditions. A superior pollinator plant for native moth species and night-time pollinators.
This seed was ethically wild harvested or farmed in Southern Arizona. Seeds may have substandard germination rates due to natural seed dormancy. For growing tips, refer to our catalog.
