Variety: Possibly Datura stramonium, Datura metel, or cross breed
Location: Thailand
Common names: Purple Ballerina Datura, Double Purple Datura, Angel's Trumpet, Devil's Trumpet, thornapples, jimsonweeds, devil's weed, hell's bells
CAUTION! Datura plants are poisonous. They can kill. No part of the plant should not be ingested in any shape or form. Keep young children and pets away from Datura plants. You have been WARNED!
NOTES: It was my experience growing Datura plants from fresh seed pods is that they grew quite easily and quickly. Soak seeds for 24 hours before planting. Do not scarify the seeds. I kept the soil moist but not saturated and the temperature was least 72F / 22C. Sprouts appeared in 9 days. Put a clear top on the sprouts to maintain moisture levels if living in a dry climate. Thin the seedlings as necessary and transplant either into larger pots or into garden. If you would like to see periodic updates leave a comment below.

I planted the seedlings in my garden where they get lots of sunshine. Wow, they're growing so fast! Check out updated photos on my Twitter acct - twitter.com/ThailandUrban

Glad you had a nice trip. I'll stick to magick mushrooms though. Tripping isn't worth risking your life.

[@xtrichroma]

​@fedoraguy7781 not necessarily true. any hallucinogen can have "life changing" effects but deliriants such as datura are heavily less likely to have one, let alone a fun one

[@shubhamsawant293]

The species is datura metel niger. And the cultivar is blackcurrantswirl or ballerina.

[@shubhamsawant293]

It's actually datura metel hybrid ballerina.

[@benlomond2004]

It’s a datura metal hybrid, known in the gardening community as purple people eater. Beautiful ruffled purple and white flowers that emit a fragrance in late afternoon/evening. One added bonus of being toxic is that they’re deer resistant. Certain insects will nibble on leaves.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Thanks for the feedback and ID. I'm really looking forward to the flowers. Any thoughts on how big (or old) they should be before transplanting into the soil?

[@notez420_]

metel*

[@Jessicakayla22]

Soooooo um can ya help me??? I planted some datura purple seed and trying to be sure that's what I planted. In videos I noticed people using gloves to plant.... which oops I didn't use they have a purple stem at root and the leaf part looks like a butterfly almost. There's alittle more to it that I'd probably have a hard time explaining but can send picture if you are able to help Possible SOS my dumb self didn't even have any idea bout it 🤣🤣

[@elainewhite3059]

Thank you for the video. I had started some old Datura double(4yrs at least) in my hydroponic starter and waited and forgot. They came up finally after a month 2 sprouted! I had a hunch and I used your video to identify them so Thank You!

[@catherinemitchell4499]

I found a seed pod a few years ago. I had no idea what it was, but I planted it and got a plant. I had to look it up to find out what it was. Now my plant is getting unwieldy and I want to propagate it. I’ll try your plan. Wish me luck!

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

You'll do great!

[@benlomond2004]

Plant after the last frost date in your area in full sun. They are heavy feeders, and will benefit from a high phosphorus fertilizer. Look for a water soluble one, like miracle grow, as they also will benefit from a good drink. As for size, it depends on other variables, but count on between 2 to 5 feet. Enjoy

[@remoniabrashear4524]

Thank you for the tip having a hard time getting mine to grow in the panhandle of Texas but I'm not keeping the warm enough that's for the tip

Thanks ..im growing it now a days.. I'm from India, uttrakhand

[@renaissanista1455]

Deginitely not Stramonium. Stramonium seeds are very dark. Metel and Wrightii are light to medium tan. Wrightii pods are painfully sharp, unlike Metel pods.

[@manosmpoliotis8304]

I just bought a few Datura seeds myself, your video was is extremely helpful... Greetings from Greece!

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I believe they like a lot of sun so I think they should do well in Greece. I visited a loooong time ago when I was truly a "lucky dog traveler!" Please comment back and let us know how they're doing.

[@chachaw7139]

My balcony is full of flowers and plants. I find I begin growing inside and slowly move them out when the weather is good.

@@LuckyDogTraveler my seeds were in the pod for 3 years and Im trying to sprout them now . They are taking a long time and I just covered them to keep the moisture in . I have not seen any growth in 2 weeks .Any tips welcome .

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

3 years old seeds are getting near the end of their viability and you probably will have a much lower success rate and take longer to germinate. You may have to obtain new seeds altogether. An interesting experiment. Let us know how it goes.

[@oldscout7]

Datura metel.

[@RLPunk]

Is a Datura Mettel "Purple Queen". Can be Double or Triple flower. Smells delicious in the night.

[@A.O.P247]

How long did it took

[@A.O.P247]

I'm starting datura Wrightii seeds now

[@renaissanista1455]

It's not Stramonium, which is common Jimson Weed here in the US. Blooms look single, but pods look exactly like the ones on my Double Purple Datura Metel. I'm going with Datura Metel. The color and pods, plus leaf shape look right for Metel. I don't soak or score my seeds and they do fine for me.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Thanks for the ID feedback and checking out my vid!

[@johnmitchell1614]

Hello Renaissanista, I sowed 8 Datura Metel Double Yellow seeds which were soaked for a day 30 days ago and one sprouted a couple of weeks ago. The thing is, it has 3 stems? Odd? Any thoughts on this? Oh yeah, the other 7 haven't shown yet. Best regards. 🌻

[@doloinc]

Looks like a hybrid. The pods are similar to stramonium, but the seeds are similar to inoxia, wrightii and metel (lighter in color). My guess would be one of the last 3, as stamonium tends to have a consistently black seed; hard to tell until it flowers

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Thanks for the input. I hope I can grow them until they flower.

[@doloinc]

@@LuckyDogTraveler they will grow and flower extremely quickly, so no need to worry about that.

[@shantisondagar8308]

Are the Datura seeds available in Canada ❓

[@oldscout7]

Datura metel. However, both D. stramonium and D. ferox, have black, roundish seeds, while the D. innoxia, D. metel and D. wrightii, have brown, flat seeds that closely resemble pepper seeds in shape. Hope this helps.

That's Datura stramonium you're referring to from Ayurveda. This is Datura metel; a cousin to stramonium but nowhere near as potent

​Hello, these can be purchased online from Vesey's Canada. Seeds can be purchased at the beginning of the season at Lowe's, Home Depot, Home Hardware, Canadian Tire and you may score from grocery stores in the temporary seed stands. I urge you to purchase soon as you see them as they disappear quickly! I hope this helps. Oh and they are packaged as Moonflower, Datura. Success to you.

[@oldscout7]

@ :44, it is most definitely Datura metel.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Thanks for the ID

[@alexcassel63]

I think its metel as the stramonium seeds are smaller and blacker

[@missleeny5042]

Im seeing this vid too late . I dp have a hard time growing these from seeds . Sometimes its a total fail . This year i did the soaking . Then i placed seeds betwn 2 moist paper towels . This was then put in a zip loc bag with the seal opened , bag placed on a plant warming pad and this was put in a sunny south window . 7 days in and nothing . Do you think my method will work ? Im concerned bc i cant tell successfully germinating seeds from ones that are ruined by moisture and rotting . Sigh . If you have any thoughts or tips , i'd love to hear em. I cant start over though bc i have no more seeds . Thanks for your video !!

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

It takes a while for the seeds to germinate, so please be patient. I never used the moist paper towel method so hard for me to say what the problem might be. You didn't mention where the seeds were obtained from, but in general I have found that if seeds are not germinating, it's often because the seeds were not viable to begin with, and not a problem with the method.

[@satronpaint]

what kind of soil do they like best? mine have only been planted for 5 days but i used a clumpy/mulchy kind of potting soil that i feel like it doesn’t like.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I believe the grown plants are not too fussy about soil. The young seedlings should be kept moist in a well-draining mix, but not saturated

[@adriennefloreen]

I think it's metel but if you showed the flowers I could tell.

[@kaibilbalam7151]

What (scarified) for sir!? Thank you!

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Scarification lets moisture penetrate the hard seed hull so it sprouts more quickly and get a higher germination rate

[@freddrog4689]

When you soak the seeds, does it matter if they soak in the dark or in sunlight?

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I soaked them inside my house

[@eizen2908]

What’s the watering cycle for these prior to sprouting?

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I kept the soil moist, watering as needed

[@theheresiarch983]

I have a lot of troumbles both wth D. Metel and stramonium. Perhamps the temperature in my city is still too low.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I do believe they like warm temps. Were they fresh seeds? Mine were always kept above 72F/22C when I germinated them.

[@danielboomers]

9days and 10 days and how long did the others take? 15-30days on average on datura isnt it?

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I think by about 14 days the seeds had sprouted. It might vary from variety to variety, too

[@pershop4950]

I thought datura flowers goow downward? Anyway I like the pods from your datura plants. They don't have the pokey pokers that I've seen on other pods.

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

Yes, the flowers often point downward. But many of my flowers grow horizontally and some even point upward. I find there's a lot of variation.

[@StayGoneJam]

oh, i though datura only grows like half a meter high and flowers pointing upward (but lately they droop down after they bloom and closed) while brugmansia is like 7 ft and flowers pointing downward from the start?

[@catthekiller8444]

@@StayGoneJam yeah

[@statoilbensin2190]

My datura seeds where black, maybe because they where harvested before the piggy seedpods dried out, or maybe its because my seeds are Datura strominum and you have a different version. Maybe indian Datura or snare datura. I only grow them for the beuty of the plant and its pleasent smell, never eat any of it as I dont want to go berserk XD.

Datura most likely will not survive freezing temps. So, I'm thinking you're probably gonna have to wait until spring.

[@Saganswrld2190]

That looks like stramonium. We have those where I live

[@andreaalford7746]

When can I cut the pods off to let them dry?

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

I'm not certain. I read you can harvest the seedpods while they are still green and let them slowly dry, but I haven't done this so can't vouch for this method. The pods I found were already dry and burst open on the plant.

[@statoilbensin2190]

Wonder why someone would eat this plant and become a maniac lol.

[@anthonyrickardii6198]

What is the best way to save seeds for years ?

[@LuckyDogTraveler]

They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark area. seeds usually remain viable for 3 or 4 years when stored in a constantly cool location. Note I've never stored them for a long period and have always used fresh seeds so I cannot vouch for this from a first-hand experience
