jagonjune, I have datura wrightii, which looks like a larger version of d. inoxia. (Or that is the way I understand it.) It will come back every year from rootstock. There are many different kinds of dats and some of them are an annual, or a tender perennial. The pic Root posted just above is a double/triple yellow datura. There are white/purple triple dats called Black Currant Swirl. Both these would be considered an annual. I have many that I keep in pots and bring them in over winter. I have 2 different plants that are going on 5 years old. If I remember right, they are only hardy to 55 degrees. Root....where are you???

Here is a pic of d wrightii. The blooms are 8-9" long and as big as 6" across. They open at dusk until around noon the following day, and are very fragrant.
