Datura, Beej
Solanaceae
Datura Candida
Annual. Native to Colombia. Rare.
TOXIC. Sibundoy poison and narcotic used in divination, prophecy
and therapy. Cultivation: Easy: Direct seed in
warm, sunny location or start in greenhouse in flats or pots. Heat
dependent germinator. Likes full sun. Very fast growing.
It is easy to overwater Daturas, which tend to grow better if slightly
water-starved. Given the right conditions, a Datura plant can easily
sprawl 6 feet, so plenty of space should be allowed between plants.
