Datura seed.
Sue bought a white Datura (not a Brugmansia) this year and I've allowed it
to set seed which it has in abundance. Any tips on growing these from seed? -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |
no, but there was a fashion for chewing them at one time. One happy chappie
was discovered trying to roll up the white line in the middle of a road and take it home. "Bob Hobden" wrote in message ...

I did and got a very good germination rate. They weren't difficult. -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

Any tips on growing these from seed? -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London Hello Bob, my way with Datura stramonium has been to sow in early spring in a multpurpose compost and covered with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine grit. They were then placed in a close case at a temp of 16-18C and kept moist. Eventually brought out to to open staging, potted on as required and grown on for patio container display from mid May. I have some growing here. Dunno where it came from as I never planted it. I keep pulling it up but it comes up every year and is spreading over my garden. Any tips on how to kill the blooming things? |

Thanks to everyone that replied, sounds like they will be an ideal candidate for filling in those summer gaps between the perennials. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |
