If it's Datura, and if you were considering trying it, don't.

You better not grow tomatoes, potatoes or eggplant either because they are all
in the same family and all have equally poisonous leaves.

Really. I get so tired of people warning that you shouldn't grow this
or that because of the poisonous qualities....it is enough to know
they are poisonous and to not eat them. They're still pretty. I
suppose I shouldn't allow the foxgloves to grow wild all over my yard,
rip out the self-sowing datura, never grow a tomato, etc.
