Default What is this?

I saw a plant growing in a xeriscape area around early September, that had
very pretty white trumpet shaped flowers that were about 6" long! They were
stunning. The plant also had large irregularly shaped leaves. It was in
northwest Denver. I'm not sure if it was a annual or perennial but it sort of
seemed like a perennial. It was a maybe 3' tall bush.

Does anyone know what it may have been?


Do a search on datura inoxia. It's a perennial that grows easily from
seed so acts as an annual in northern areas.

Flowers open at night and only last a day or so, very heavy frangrance.
Known as moonflower (plant, not vine).
