- The Moonflower Datura is a spectacular night blooming plant with fantastically huge white trumpet shaped flowers. Interesting spiky seed pods that produce loads of seeds to share. Huge hummingbird and Sphinx Moth attraction, delightfully fragrant in the evening. This plant is an annual in some area's, but acts as a deciduous perennial in Austin Texas for the most part. Please check me out and "like" me on facebook at Lisa's Landscape & Design. / 281371330979
I've had this plant for about 15 years now. Love all the seeds you get every year!!
Datura the moonflower is my favorite witches' seed Iol I first saw this flower back in 2001.... I had just moved from Long Beach CA to Moreno Valley and I remember still being in love with the ocean and breezy cold full moons nights you get there; so to me, Moreno Valley was like a desert waste land.... one night during a full moon (as I always try to do) I was taking a walk through one of the many empty fields in this wonderful city; I'd have to admit the nights were beautiful for me because of the stars, when I see this flower glowing in the beaming moonlight lol it was so spellbindingly beautiful just siting there lonely in the quite moon-fall that I jokingly named it moonflower.... I only found out a few days ago that Datura my sweet little nightshade … is really known as moonflower lol I will always keep this powerful friend near me.
we are one?
you should smoke it
THIS IS NOT A MOONFLOWER (WHICH IS A VINE) THIS IS A JIMSON WEED!!! LOOK IT UP JUST AN FYI , THE VIDEO IS WRONG!!
@@WaffenSSaregods moon glow. the devils nector.
Have to say I have grown this plant next to the front entrance of the house. You are so right about the fragrance.....it was lovely to smell when the large white blooms started opening up at disk and the hummingbird moths would come flitting arount those beautiful blooms. Ok, now I want to order some seeds for next year for my garden. Good video.
I’m SO happy I found your channel!!
Me too!
I said the same thing about your mom.
I agree with you concerning this plant it’s a beautiful plant! It smells so good. Thant you for sharing 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
This is a classic beauty in any garden. The key is being a smart gardener. Planting them in the backyaard, or out of children and pet reach. Our house is deep set away from the street so we've grown some mixed in our flower beds for years. It's great for adding plesant perfume in the air when there are fires or other stinky smells in the aloft. It's always good to trim them with care while wearing gloves. Otherwise when left alone it's of interest to Anoles, bees, certain birds, and certain moths. Provides a lot of beauty for very little care in return.
This is spot on!
funny how gardening brings people together....thank you for sharing your story I do grow these!
Thank you for a marvelous video. I remember having this kind of moonflowers in my life since I was a tot in the late 1950's in southern Illinois. My mother grew up on a farm in south Alabama and had two green thumbs that she used all the time. We moved to the Space coast of Florida in 1961 and always had moonflowers there then we moved to Denver and we still love them best. they've all descended from the seeds from Illinois. I'm glad your neighbor introduced you to them. I've always been addicted to their fragrance since I can remember.
Paul Stant , I’m from Illinois too and apparently my great grandmother grew them and I didn’t realize it until my Mom saw these in my garden. Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea that’s where they began...full circle!
I love the story about your neighbor!
It’s a beautiful one that has lasted years behind her lifetime.
Thank you for sharing
I’m super excited! I am planting this year!
It’s one of my all-time favorites and the fragrance is insane!
Love this plant
I just found your channel and I feel so sad that u no longer upload any videos. Love them and so hooked because I have never seen half the plants u talk about!
Love this plant!
I agree - these are absolutely stunning and the smell is so incredible. I have people come over when it blooms because pictures do not do it justice. I have a question, Lisa, What do you do with the seed pods? Do you wait for the seed pod to turn brown or do you harvest it and let it dry out.... Will the plant reseed without using the seed pod? This is the first time I've had a seed pod produce and I'm so excited! thanks
It has great medicinal properties.
Yes, it does.
Amazing!
Wow I've always suspected our moonflower bush was datura lol now I know.
this plants when you eat it make u like creazy
The story with neighbours was really emoționant for me! Be sure i subscribed.
I love this plant. I am "addicted" to it.s.smell
It was n important reminder to stop and get to know people without judgement and it’s a gift that outlived her for sure.
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Oo I just had one bloom in my palm tree pot ..wanted to pull it out of the pot but want to see what it was n did ..so happy I didnt!
I’ll bet!
I will have to try this plant! Thank you for sharing!
bronze fennel I love it and have had it for over 20 years.
Cool! Thanks!
The flower is beautiful. I grew some in a pot over the previous year and have some seeds ready 4 next year
You crack me up!
"I'm sorry, I'm zeroing in on this hummingbird because it's very exiting"!!
I'm in Austin, do you know of anyone willing to share seeds?
I have to plant some of these.
An absolute for any moon garden. Thank you for posting.
Informative video, thank you. I noticed that you mentioned the Sphinx moth is also known as the hummingbird moth, which is the tomato hornworm. The tomato hornworm is actually a Manduca quinquemaculata and the hummingbird moth (also called horn worm) is a Macroglossum stellatarum, two different species. Another note: your video loops at 3:34. All pointers aside, you've inspired me to look for the white moon flower. I have the purple datura seedlings that I sprouted (took over a month to germinate) but they are still small and I'm looking forward to some flowers to perfume my own yard!
Thank you for the clarity.
Looks beautiful!! This one is Datura Innoxia. It is one of several quickly growing Datura species including D. ferox, D. metel and D. stramonium, that achieve high densities and are difficult to control.
How do you distinguish between them? Not sure which one made it into and naturalized in my country.
Datura is a gorgeous looking plant. This specific specimen I think is Daturs Innoxia, which is probably my favourite of the Datura genus (not including the brugmansias)
They are both stunning and incredibly fragrant. 💕
@@LisaLaPaso I agree! I would really love to grow innoxia or a brugmansia but I have two cats which are likely to be intrigued by it. Not a risk worth taking :(
It's beautiful
Cathy, it also smells amazing! Hummingbird Sphinx moths come to visit each evening and it is quite the show.
Que lindas yo quiero de esas
I have seeds. I wanted a trellis bit I see you have it without one. I love it!
The person I got these seeds from 30 years ago had hers on a trellis and I have always let them go wild, but they are fabulous either way as long as you have and enough room. They will easily get 6 to 8 feet wide covered in blooms at dusk to dawn. The fragrance is amazing.
I've never grown one but looks beautiful! Are these invasive and do you plant in sun or shade?
They are sun loving.
I am planning to plant this in a pot on my terrace here in Kolkata, India. We do not have hummingbirds here but we have sunbirds. They visit my terrace to feed on hibiscus. This flower blooms only at night, so how is it going to attract sunbirds during the day ?
Your flower is still in bloom during the day !
It opens at night and mine will stay open until the hot sun hits it. I don’t know that birds are particularly interested but bees and hummingbird moths love it!
Nice video. How do I take the seedling that are growing in the sidewalk joints? Do I pull out then place in water or just set in seeding soil?
Nice
Never had this happen before but my datura flower didn't make a seed pod. It just withered. What happened?
Give it more time.
It’s possible it got too wet. If you’ve had a lot of rain it could be the culprit. It also needs a lot of sun.
I got some seeds from a garden group a few months ago and the seeds kinda look like jalapeno seeds, not the normal moonflower with the large peanut looking seeds. Which one is the bushy one?
These seeds look like an alien pod and the seeds are flat and a few centimeters in diameter.
💯
I wonder why the bees and hummingbirds go for the nectar if it is toxic. Very interesting.
Toxins are not always toxic to all creatures. Chocolate can kill dogs yet we stuff ourselves full of the crap. And is it the nectar that is toxic or the seeds. Another thing to consider - plants need insects and birds to distribute pollen or go extinct - they use sweet sugary nectar to trick them into getting coated with pollen. If plants produced toxic nectar animals would shun the species and it would go extinct.
How do you recommend preventing them overtaking a flowerbed? I've heard if you grow them near a fence they grab on and ruin the wood.
Just cut the seed pods off before they open
Great vid brilliant you looked past your neighbors attitude & made friends for the sake of getting the Moon flowers. Just heard about them today gotta wait upon the seeds but I think my source's variety is the common white flowering one. How would I get seeds for the purple one?
I’ve seen them in packages and you could probably find them online.
Datura Stramonium ?
nice
How tall do these moon flowers grow & the width?
They can get up to 6’ x 6’
How can you get the ones that smell nice? If I Google this I just get info about Jimsonweed which everyone says smells like rancid peanut butter.
It is the same thing, and they are wrong.
It's a beautiful plant, I have one growing in my backyard that I named Missy Twisty Fingers. I am also a person who deeply loves psychedelics ... but there is not enough money in the world to get me to ingest any part of this plant. I believe the ordeal gained from eating this plant (if you even survive) is the closest thing to literal Hell that a living person could possibly experience.
help I've been kidnapped , agreed, there would be no money worth me experimenting with a plant where two seeds are good, but 3 will kill you. I’ll just enjoy the flowers...
Lisa, I don’t know if you’ll see this soon enough, but is there any way to extend blooming? My daturas had tons of blossoms for weeks, and now the last one opened last night. There are no more and I’m so sad. Would pruning cause it to flower again?
They are repeat bloomers but from different blooms. They are a night blooming plant and will close and perish in the light of day. New blooms come from the existing stems so don’t cut them back once they bloom because new blooms come from them. Don’t over water the plants and make sure they get plenty of sunlight.
Do they produce seeds
Yes, tons of seeds but they aren’t invasive. They will sew many of them that can be easily pulled if not in a desirable space. They cal also be saved and shared with others.
I buy seeds for this plant on the internet every year...along with the purple and yellow varieties. Hopefully someday they'll reseed themselves. The only time my nasty neighbors have ever spoken to me in a civil manner was to ask what this plant was. Unlike you, we still aren't friends, as they resent the invasive milkweed I have in my butterfly garden!
Allie Hamilton-Calhoun I love that you plant milkweed I was going to plant some in my yard!!!😉
Please do! Monarchs really need our help! It does spread, though, very quickly through underground rhizomes ....and can be very stubborn about adhering to property lines and such!
I love it it's pretty I have common milkweed I am about to get the orange milkweed too. The neighbors are mad about my Japanese honeysuckle but I really could care less.I think it smells amazing!!!!
I've just recently learned about Monarchs & milkweeds. Every spring I have some stray milkweeds poking up through my ground cover plants and my Hostas. I've been yanking them out every year. This year I'm not. I haven't seen any Monarchs however but I'm looking for them. I need to go do some research on milkweed & monarchs in Central Ohio.
Thank you for deciding to keep your milkweed! If the weather is right, the monarchs will find it. There's so little milkweed anymore, It gets mowed over on the roadsides and ignorant people like I used to be get rid of it since it's a weed. I started out with milkweed vines that I would pull out whenever I saw them. After I noticed the caterpillars on them I stopped uprooting them. And that's how I became hooked on pollinators! Whenever I'm at a native plant sale I look for milkweed. I've branched out to provide host plants for other butterflies now. I've planted some spicebushes and dill for the swallowtails, and as much as I dislike tomato horn worms I leave them be; they eventually become beautiful hummingbird moths.
TEXAS!
The.Salty.Sarlacc , that’s right!
I like mixing the seeds with raisins, peanuts, chocolate chips and sunflower kernels for a trail snack . After a few handfuls you can go on long trips and never leave your house or property.
Oh my,
That’s a good way to end up in the hospital, if you’re lucky, or six feet under if you aren’t.
oh, so it is fragrant? I didn't know that.I know this plant though.if any body consume it they get drunk like.thanks for sharing.I subscribed.
Orchid and Kitties , I would never consume any part of this plant. All parts are toxic and I would never recommend experimenting with questionable medicinal or hallucinating aspects. This one is for sight and smell only.
I’m very very very tempted to trip on datura but at the same time scared too haha
You will lose your soul
I don’t recommend it.
🤦🏼♀️
Beautiful flowers what do you do to get them very big?
They grow super fast. It'll get big before you know it.
I'm in Poteet Tx. Did I hear you say it is Tex friendly?
avel salas it is Texas friendly.
I have some Moonflower seeds. Can you tell me when I can plant them? I live in Texas
mcleod55 Sorry I am just seeing this for some reason, but moonflowers need a good amount of sun (typically 4-6 hours). They can grow in part sun but you may not get the flower production you desire. They like a dry spot (no wet feet) and suffer after periods of rain.
Datura actually grows very well in texas, its commonly found in the wild there. Its very low effort as far as caring for it goes, ive even grown small ones indoors. I've had sucess planting them indoors year round and i typically plant more outside when it gets a tad bit warmer.
Now go get your garden on!!! Lol
Lisa, I enjoyed your video about Moonflower Datura. I wanted to mention that you repeat what you say about this beautiful
flower twice in your video. I am not sure that you are aware of this happened.
I died eating the devil trumpet.is it safe to just smoke the leaves for medical uses only
@@krimsonslipknot9573 the seeds are what make you trip lol
@@krimsonslipknot9573 then....don't eat it????
Are you selling or trading any seeds..... I have a blue moon wisteria to trade if your interested?
How did you get yours to grow so big?
I don't know what some grow so large and others do not. I will say that this oarticula7ince found a space that allows it to grow back from the same plant root each year( never freezes completely down) and it gets about 5 x 5 wide and about 2.5 feet tall. I've seen people cage them to allow them to be taller instead of so wide but I like this version.
I live in Orlando Florida. ..is there someone who can tell me where to find the evergreen wisteria?
Does anyone know where to buy a live plant online? I've been searching and just find a bunch of seed sellers. I don't trust them. I'm just looking to buy a live plant.
I just found the purple one on Ebay and bought both that were listed... Sorry about that. Lol I hope you can find some though.
Check out this merchant on Ebay and see what he has listed: ree2stev9
@@MykelxMonroe LOL. Enjoy your plants and thanks for the tip!
how long will my datura take to give me its first blooms ... whats the average time?
bill tyson it doesn't take any time at all.
I thought they close at day .-.
Only in the heat of the day.
There is also datura stramonium
I ate a crap ton of the seeds, and ended up in the hospital and tripping for 3 days.... I DO NOT RECOMMEND!
You definitely do not want to experiment with the seeds. Anything can create a nice biz with a few and kill you with slightly more isn’t for doing.
The devils weed. Its not a Psychedelic where you'll talk to god. It's a delirant and you'll dance with the devil,
😐
You are more stupid then you know.
How the fuck is not Psychedelic ?
🌱🌱🌱Yes, poison and also hallucinogens. A better plant is a moon vine.
Do you sell these seeds from your plant? I'd like some. :)
Can I grow it from its stem cutting
Rajat Rastogi I’m not sure actually, I’ve never tried.
beautiful but deadly
Can I buy some seeds from you? I only need enough to grow 2 strong plants.
mitchell bailey I have seeds for the purple tipped type. They look like these but the ends of the blooms are purple. I’ll send you some for free if you want some.
in mexico we considered that as a weed so they grow wild and i hate it the smell of the flowers are horrible i hate it
Lol i thought at 1:36 you were going to poison her with the datura
No way, she’s my garden Angel.
@@LisaLaPaso I see what you did there guardian garden angel and angel trumpet

Sounds like a awesome plant to have pouseness it energies must be quite protective
It seeds make you trip... a very scary bad trip
This plant takes huge amount of water. Without it they dry up, I have to water mine everyday in the summer
Nancy Swan mine is bone dry and hates when it gets too wet. Allow yours to go dry for a while a see if it acclimates. Maybe you’ll encourage the roots to go deeper and not rely on you. The flowers are night bloomers so they will not live during the day, the rest of the plant is very drought tolerant.
Same here in the Netherlands, my Datura grew by itself and it grows in the absolute driest part of the garden: sandy soil with excellent drainage just next to a southeast facing façade that heats up like an oven in summertime, where everything else fails. This plant just grows and shines without having to do anything at all...
Nancy Swan , in Texas they do best with very little water. They cannot take the heat of the day of course and die back after late morning, but they thrive and bloom prolifically as moonflowers do. They open every evening around dusk and the Hummingbird Moths enjoy them tremendously, as do the bees.
For some reason, my flowers died and I thought I got some seeds but there are nothing....so now I have no seeds to replant them!
Buy some online.
TC thanks!
I hope I really helped. I wasn't being sarcastic. I had a bunch of Moonflower plants growing in front of my apartment. The big Datura "Devil's Trumpet" type. I had been saving the spiky seed pods and replanting them every year just in case nature failed. Nature failed me twice two falls ago - I had a serious health issue that kept me bedridden and somehow none of the pods germinated. I just happened to find a website selling them this past winter and ordered them. Just this week two of them are pushing out of the dirt. I'm trying two kinds - the "Datura" & the smaller more vine like "Ipomoea" or Evening Glory Moonflower. I hope I have that correct - I'm a very amateur gardener - I just think these things are cool.
My Moonflower bloomed lastnight but when I went in the morning to look....the whole flower shriveled up from the sun :(
Brianna Williams Moonflowers are night bloomers and will not survive the day. They typically bloom from dusk to dawn to any daytime blooms are a gift. I use moonflowers in "moonlight gardens" or near patios and places people will be sitting in the evening or early morning hours for just this reason.
Do you know the variety?
It looks like a datura inoxia.
tom jackson the leaf shape looks more like D. Metel because D. Inoxia has a round, pale, hairy leaf which this doesnt have
Strammonium
Aka: Jimson weed.
Jimson weed is Datura stranomium, this is Datura Inoxia
Jimson weed is Datura Stranomium, this is Datura Inoxia.
Hindi me btaye
I am sorry I am unable to translate it for you.
Do you know daturas are dangerous and can put you to sleep forever?
....if you smoke or eat them????
So can many plants if you smoke or consume them.
how to grow from seed?
Duy Nguyễn with not much soil on top and plenty of water. It can be a little hit and miss but once they start growing they are impressive.
+Para-Mentis Channel by Piggsy Lamb thank you, but does the plant need fun sun or it can be shade-tolerant ?
Fast ho raha hai
