flowerpower Joined: 1/14/2003 Location: Catskill Mtns NY Zone 4 Posts: 277	Posted: May/22/2006 11:04 AM PST OK I ended up with 5 little seedlings. They only have 2 sets of leaves each. How big should I expect these plants to get? Some varieties are 7 ft? I would like to keep at least one in a pot. Any suggestions? Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have had one double purple Datura but I didn't like the reseeding. Otherwise they are really beautiful. Linda B Quote \| Reply \| Report
