Most of the garden variety Datura types are annuals and tender perennials but there are also a few perennial types as well depending on your zone. Datura species tend to be much smaller growing plants with flowers that typically point in an upward or at least somewhat upward to sideways direction and one common name, which we find appropriate, as it helps to separate the two, is Devil’s Trumpets. By using the current genus classification, it will help us to separate the two as there are a variety of important differences. Until the early 1970’s both Daturas and Brugmansias were grouped under the genus Datura. The Difference between Datura and Brugmansia Plant them close enough to doorways, walks, and outdoor sitting areas where the fragrances can be appreciated throughout the growing season but allow ample room for them grow into their beautiful natural forms. Like many night blooming flowers, the fragrance of the Angel’s Trumpet often doesn’t begin to express itself until sunset providing a beacon in the dark to the large often light colored flowers for hummingbird moth pollination (a common name applied to Sphinx moths and inclusive of a broad variety of other large pollinator moths) and other smaller moths as well. Once flowering begins it can last for months if they are well cared for, making these the star and often times the center piece of the garden. The large trumpet shaped flowers open at night and each flower can last for a few to several days.
