I need a Datura Education!

Ace, TX(Zone 8a)

This is my first year to grow Datura. I started seeds of Black Currant Swirl and some other seeds I got that all I knew about them is that they were purple.
I didn't think any of the Swirls made it but now I am beginning to wonder. I ended up with 3 plants I posted pictures on the ID forum. The first two are swirled, the 3rd plant just started blooming and the bloom is like a brug but doubled. I whish I could get a name for these datura or some info. Are they simple called single, triple and double. I have seeds for one called Cornacopia and want to try some of the Black Currant Swirl again. I am confused are there named Daturas.

I posted some ID on the IDěng forum. :)

Thanks I got it! I love these plants and hope to add to my collection.


:) Yes, they are both beautiful, easy to grgow and smells great. How many of them do you grow?

Right now I have the two pictured and just planted a single white. I have seeds for cornacopia and a double yellow (golden queen) and if I dig I should have some more seeds stashed, just don't know what kind yet. I saw my first triple yellow at a little nursery and they wanted $25 for what they were calling a brug. It's on my wish list.
