Datura stramonium
Thorn Apple

Solanacea

A curious little plant, this one. The scent of the flowers is unmistakable but hard to classify.
It is very easy to grow but seems to do best when left to seed itself in the garden rather than being raised in the nursery.
Some growers claim that it will grow to 2m but we have never known it to grow beyond 80cm.

Please note:  ALL PARTS OF THE PLANT ARE TOXIC if ingested.

Propagation: Raise seeds in the garden. Plant to a depth of twice the seed size.
Keep moist but not soaked.
 

Packet of 20 seeds $3.50

Our primary use for the plant is homeopathic and in that sense, it is invaluable.
