Datura metel, commonly called horn of plenty, devil’s trumpet, angel’s trumpet or thorn apple, is native to southern China. It is a shrubby, sprawling, short-lived, tender perennial grows 30" (80 cm) tall and spreads to as much as 4’ wide. Ovate, wavy-toothed, dark green leaves (to 8” long). Foliage emits a disagreeable odour when bruised or crushed. Single or double, upward-facing trumpets (to 7” long and 4” wide at the mouth) have a sweetly overpowering fragrance. Flowers come in a variety of colours, including white, yellow, lilac and dark purple. Each flowers lasts only one night. From an unusual cigar-shaped flower bud, each flower will unravel in the evening to reveal a fragrant trumpet-shaped bloom that only lasts until noon the following day.
