Devils Trumpet double "Sirenevy" (Toloache, Indian Apple, Jimson Weed, Sacred Datura)
Thorn Apple double "Lilac" (Devils Trumpet) - Datura innoxia.
This annual plant grows well in open ground, reaching a height of about 70 cm by August, with up to 12 huge (up to 20 cm long) tubular double purple flowers with a delicate pleasant aroma (especially in the evening in dry, warm weather) blooming daily on each bush. A single flower lives in an open state for 1 day.
Grown through seedlings and used as a decorative annual.
Fruits are prickly capsules with a large number of large seeds.
Datura can also be grown as a perennial potted crop.
The plant is similar to eggplant in its heat and light requirements, but tolerates cold weather better.
The seeds are difficult to germinate - they can germinate for more than 30 days.
Datura is strongly affected by fungal diseases, so in no case should the root collar be deepened when planting.
Watering and feeding are abundant. When caring for the plant, it is necessary to remove faded flowers with formed ovaries every 1-2 days to stimulate flowering.
