I don't see why you couldn't - go ahead and plant up a couple of pots and put them in your refrigerator and see what happens.

I wsed Datura because they act like a perennials in my growing zone. I have one that keeps coming back every year, so I figured I would give them a try. Sure enough, wsing worked on several different varieties of Datura! It will interesting to see if any will bloom this season or next.

Since I do have some Brugmansia seeds, I will test them and see if they can be wsed. Since it has been so unseasonally warm this month, I will sow them now. They certainly grow very quickly. If I can get these seeds to ws, I know from personal experience that they will not bloom until the following season. But that's okay, because I could sow them outside, instead of with a heating mat and grow lights.
