Datura metel 'Ballerina White'
- Product number: 516410
- Origin: South Asia
- Latin: Datura metel
The lush plants with soft leaves grow to about 40-60 cm high. Pinching the plant early on quickly creates a beautifully branched plant, which blooms profusely in summer with large, double trumpet-shaped flowers, bright white (with a creamy tinge) and wonderfully fragrant!
It sometimes remains a guesswork for the correct genus and species names, here and there we put a question mark (literally). Not all species can be overwintered, generally speaking the upright flowering species are called "Datura" and are annual, and the species with hanging flowers are usually called "Brugmansia", which can be overwintered frost-free.
