FWIW, Datura Metel is a Devil's Trumpet, not an Angel's Trumpet.
Brugmansias are Angel Trumpets.
A Datura Metel seedling will grow 3-4' tall if in very fertile soil. In
poor soil they'll reach 2-3'. They'll flower profusely.
They're an annual, but they do self reseed.
They're also my favorite plant. Any other questions, please ask.
Last year I grew about 50 of these plants.

Tony, I live in Pensacola, FL zone 8B. Last year I grew a couple od
Daturas. I saved seed and I also let them cast their own seed. My
question is when should I start to expect the volunteer seedlings to
start poking their heads up. I have ammended the soil somewhat around
the daturas but it is mostly sand.
