I'm revamping a terrace garden and it is loaded with moonflower datura shrubs. Some of these are 5 feet tall, full of blooms. But I've got to move them. They have outgrown the area and are sprawled across my pathway. I would like to trade them for something I'm looking for. I will have to cut them way back to ship, but there's still time for them to bush back out and even flower this season.
I've found them to be hardy here in my zone 7a. The SAME plant DOES come back from the root. It also makes an abundance of seed pods and is easy to start from seeds. The blooms are about 7" inches long, 6" in diameter, stark white, nightblooming, and very fragrant--like honeysuckle or jasmine. The scent fills the night air. Each year, the shrubs get bigger and bushier. They are one of my favorite plants. I have many scattered throughout my gardens, but these in this area must go. They are toxic if any part of the plant or seeds are injested by human or beast, so be warned.
I'd love to trade for named daylilies, named irises, named elephant ears or other unusual perennials. I am not looking for tropicals or houseplants. I would also trade for Donna Dewberry and Bob Ross paint supplies, books and videos that I don't have, as well as DVDs in the thriller (not horror), romance, comedy, and drama categories.
I have other plants to trade too. Just check out my post a little further down the page. Thank you for looking.
