Anyone growing Datura inoxia?

Pleasant Ridge, MI(Zone 6a)

According to the USDA zone page, this plant doesn't grow here. I've been seeing very robust yearly gardens of it near my home . Anybody else have experience with it? Seems to survive winter just fine.

Yup I have it. It reseeds in my veggie gardens every year. I just let it go and pull out the ones I don't want. In fact it gets huge in the veggie garden, but stays small if I put it in my flower beds. Go figure!

Hey, I've got that, but didn't know what it was. I bought it as a moonflower vine and it was supposed to be an anual. Didn't vine. Didn't die. It comes up every year from both seeds and roots. I've gotten so I put it wherever nothing else grows. I think it's the only plants that are doing well in the drought.

You can watch the bees trying to pry open the blooms in the evening.
