What’s in Bloom?
Looking for a tough, native Texas perennial that is also highly deer resistant? Datura wrightii, commonly known as Angel trumpet or Jimsonweed, may be an excellent choice. This hardy plant typically grows about 3 feet tall and can spread up to 10 feet wide, making it a great option for filling a large space. Datura wrightii produces striking white, trumpet-shaped flowers that open at night and remain open until midmorning. It begins blooming in May and continues throughout the summer.
Valuable to wildlife, Datura wrightii serves as a larval host for the Carolina sphinx moth, and its flowers attract bees. The fruit is a light green, prickly, round capsule. It is a low-maintenance plant that spreads readily by seed and thrives in full sun, even in extreme heat. It requires little water, though occasional supplemental watering can help it grow larger and bloom more abundantly.

Caution ⚠️
All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested, and the foliage may cause skin irritation in some people.
