Datura stramonium
Thorn Apple
Solanacea
Thorn Apple is a curious little plant, this one.
The
scent of the flowers is unmistakable but hard to classify.
Thorn Apple 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.
Raise seeds in the garden. Plant to a depth
of twice the seed size.
While it is quite drought tolerant, it does very well when
well watered.
Packet of 20 seeds $3.50
