What small plant can bring both beauty and aroma in your garden
Datura metel - Horn-of-Plenty

- ⭕️ Growing to 2–3 feet in containers, this fast-growing plant blooms repeatedly in spring, summer, and fall, adding a bold, tropical flair to gardens and patios.
- ⭕️ Datura has a long history of medicinal uses.
- ⭕️ With its exotic flowers, intoxicating scent, and lush foliage, Datura metel brings a mystical, surreal beauty to your garden like no other.
