Gloria: The white variety of Datura act as perennials in my garden. In fact, I'm still pulling out the seedlings. The plant got HUGE and I finally just yanked it out of my garden. Be careful what you wish for.... I don't know if the yellow & purple (doubles & triples) are winter hardy here, but there's one way of finding out....try it!

Brugs are definitely NOT hardy in our growing zone. Bummer! I wish I could grow them outdoors in my garden! They are so much happier growing in our heat & humidity. No problems with spider mites or aphids like when you've got to over winter them indoors! I ditched so many Brugs because I got so tired of dragging them in and out of my house. However, I did keep a few.....this is a picture of "Mango Crush" x "L'amour" that I grew from seed.
