Datura Metel (Datura Metel Ballerina Yellow) - Commonly called horn of plenty, devil’s trumpet, angel’s trumpet or thornapple is originally from South China. It is a shrubby, sprawling, short-lived, tender perennial with yellow flowers grown as an annual except in USDA Zones 9 and 10. It grows 3 - 4 feet tall and spreads to as much as 4 feet wide. Foliage emits a disagreeable odor when bruised or crushed. Single or double, upward-facing yellow flowering trumpets up to 7 inches long and 4 inches wide at the mouth have a sweetly overpowering fragrance.
This unique yellow flower lasts only one night! From an unusual cigar-shaped flower bud, each flower will unravel in the evening to reveal a fragrant trumpet-shaped yellow bloom that only lasts until noon the following day. But wait, no need to worry as these trumpet shaped yellow flowers will typically bloom intermittently from mid-summer to frost. Flowers are followed by thorny, spherical fruit. Plants belong to the nightshade family which is toxic so do not ingest.
In the ground, plants do best in rich, humusy, well-drained loams in full sun with regular moisture. Plants tend to sprawl, and are best spaced about 3 feet apart unless staking or other support will be used. Deadheading flowers is not necessary. When planting purple Datura Metel as a container plant, it may be cut back and overwintered indoors in a sunny window.
