Hi Louise-
I have these daturas- I couldn't figure out why they were so big, but found my seed packet/bag from 6 years ago the other day- It said "datura tree". Mine are exceeding 8 and 9 feet tall right now in the front. Some of my older ones in back are taller and require some supports. Fear not on the blooms though- this strain of datura likes cooler weather. Come october, the colors will be more brilliant. For some reason they like it when the nights are cooler.

Right now mine are the same color- but in the spring and fall, this is what they look like. This datura is in the ground, that is 2.5 feet below the deck level, and still towers over my head (at 6'1)
-but your right, they do need to be in a certain place.

I'm finally glad to find someone else who had these daturas- I was beginning to think I had some mutant strain. I think I bought the seeds from rancid sawdust years ago. (yep that was the name).
