This was my first year trying Daturas. Someone sent me some 'Ballerina mix' seeds. It took all summer, but I ended up with two plants, 14" to 18" tall. They still haven't flowered. I was planning on bringing them in before the first frost, to winter them over. Well we had a light frost last night. All the leaves are all droopy and hanging down, I brought them in this afternoon, but, is it too late?? Will they recover??
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Debbie, post this on the brug forum, and perhaps someone will know.

Debbi, I don't believe daturas overwinter. I've had mine come back the next spring, so be sure and mark their pot. I always collect seeds to make sure. I have single white seeds now and hope to get some off the double purple before frost. Let me know if you would like some of these for next year. Pam
