Sacred Datura
Datura wrightii
Prepare for dramatic nocturnal magic! Sacred Datura (also called Desert Datura) produces absolutely stunning large white trumpet flowers that open in late afternoon and evening, releasing an incredibly intense, sweet fragrance that perfumes the entire garden. The large, wrinkled foliage creates bold texture and presence, and the plant spreads to form substantial mounds reaching 3-5 feet.
This is a true showstopper for evening gardens and night-time entertaining! The flowers bloom from summer through fall, with each blossom lasting one night before fading. Desert Datura is incredibly heat and drought tolerant once established, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. This native perennial is perfect for desert gardens, xeric landscapes, or anywhere you want dramatic evening fragrance and night-blooming flowers.
Important note: All parts of Datura are toxic if ingested by humans and animals, so plant with caution in gardens with children or pets. The plant spreads vigorously and may self-seed. Low maintenance and virtually pest-free once established. The spectacular evening blooms create unforgettable garden experiences!
