Datura and Brugmansia are 2 different plants
Datura - a genus of about 12 to 15 species
Brugmansia - a genus of 9 species
Brugmansi is commonly called Datura
Datura - Woody ,stalked leafy herb growing up to 2 m . Plants likes a light sandy to medium loam which is well drained
It is a toxic plant and all member of this genus contain narcotics and are very poisionous
Not hardy but can survive -5 degrees C
Sow early spring at 15 degees Cand plant out after all danger of frost has passed
Brugmansia- Originates from South America and is a shrub like tree in the wild growing up to 10 m
The blooms dangle liketrumpets 18 to 30 cm in length Grow in sun or partial shade When grown from seed can reach 2 m in the first year if sown early
Again a poisionous plant so be careful
