Datura wrightii

$15.00

Datura wrightii (Sacred Datura, Moonflower)
Datura wrightii is a striking night-blooming perennial native to the American Southwest and Mexico. With its large, trumpet-shaped white flowers—often tinged with lilac—and broad, velvety gray-green leaves, it creates a dramatic presence in any garden. The blooms unfurl at dusk and release a heady fragrance that attracts nocturnal pollinators like hawk moths.

Often cultivated for its otherworldly beauty and historical significance, Datura wrightii is both drought-tolerant and resilient, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. In colder climates, it can be grown as an annual or overwintered in containers.

This plant holds a deep cultural legacy and has been used ceremonially by Indigenous peoples, though modern cultivation is strictly ornamental.

Warning: All parts of this plant are extremely toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
For ornamental and horticultural purposes only. Not intended for consumption or medicinal use.
