    I grew these beauties for the 1st time this summer from seeds I got in last Nov.'s seed swaps. They got about 12 in. tall and hung over the edge of a large pot I was also growing a taller plant of Datura 'Ballerina Yellow' in. They grew well together in morning sun and filtered sun through a tree the 2nd half the day. They are a wispy delicate flower like nothing I've grown before. I hope they return next spring as I let seeds fall.

    Strongly fragrant

    When starting from seed, provide seedlings with very minimal moisture or they will become leggy and/or rot.

    Will self-seed somewhat in the garden.
