Moonflower bush

| I bought 2 purple and white moonflower bushes at a farmer's market 2 years ago (the kind with the weird shaped pods). Last year, all that came up was some greenery, no flowers, and they did not get very big. This year, a lot of greenery is coming up all over. Does anyone know how long it takes for the flowers to bloom in a situation like this? I know my trumpet vine took about 5 years to bloom after I put it in.
Any advice would be appreciated. |

Hi Peggy-
What is moon flower bush? Is it a Datura lily? (Is the bush about 2 feet tall, & do the trumpets face upward, bloom at night, very fragrant, & what color are they? I might have what you are looking for, if it's Datura. I have some mixed seeds, LMK!

| I will this fall. If you want pods, save my addy and email me then. If I send them now they will be green, but by fall they will be ready for next year. Each pod will have approx 300 seeds. Ask me how I know..........yes I counted them! These are the bush and are white, not colored. david74017@yahoo.com |

| I have had datura "Angel's Trumpet" for several years. I started with a plant from a local nursery and have had them reseed and come up every year. I had moved some to other places in the yard but they seem to do best in full sun in a rather dry, well drained area. They may have come up in other places but dh hates them and usually will hoe out all but one or two plants just to keep me quiet. There are other colors of lavender/purple, double white and yellow but I'm not sure they will reseed up here. When my daughter lived in AZ, I found they had a lot of the native ones that sprawled a bit more with smaller flowers. They called them Jimson Weed. All datura is somewhat toxic. They act as a hallucigen and can make people very sick or even die. My dd worked at a hospital and every summer kids would come in with datura poisoning. |
