Nope. It's a Datura Blk Current Swirl.
Your link has to be cut and pasted into the browser in order to be used....not your fault just the format.
HTTPS vs HTTP

It is a pretty one though. Let's see if it will work now.

Brugmansia Dble Blackcurrant Swirl Item # 05316

(B.x candida) Closely related to Datura, this spectacular border, container or greenhouse plant features large, double, lavishly frilled flowers of lavender swirled with blackcurrant purple. Grows up to 5 feet tall and is a breathtaking sight in bloom. Can be enjoyed year after year if over-wintered in a frost-free area.

Gosh! I dont know I would have responded to that email!

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

My email to them was a bit less 'brash'...I simply told them they had a Datura listed as a Brug, and that yes they are relatives one is not the same as the other.
My reply from them was the same as the one listed above.

Denver, CO(Zone 5b)

lol Marc you are always so nice. I wonder if its an automated reply. ;o)

Tellico Plains, TN(Zone 7b)

We have gone through this before with them and many other seed companies.
Call it brash or WHATEVER ! ............ I prefer 'tongue in cheek' (note the spelling ).

I thought it was funny ............... What ever works.
This was their Consumer Service's form reply.
