DATURA
. Floripondio (Trumpetflower)
These
large-flowered annuals are related to the common Jimson
weed. Their flowers are trumpet-shaped, white, purple,
or yellow in color, and sometimes 6 inches long. Datura
fastuosa (cornucopia) is the common white species.
The flowers are often much doubled, in which case they
are mere monstrosities. The outside of the petals is
frequently washed with an objectionable purple color.
The yellow sorts are, no doubt, forms of D. chlorantha,
a tender perennial. Both of the above species are
delightfully fragrant. The plants grow 9 to 3 feet tall
and spread out equally wide.
GENERAL.
Sow the seeds indoors in April or in the border in May.
Allow each plant 11/2 feet on all sides.
