DATURA INOXIA

FAMILY :: SOLANACEAE
TOLOACHE: The largest flower of all native California plants: 6-10″ long white trumpets with a slight lavender tinge to the opening. The 2-3′ tall shrub has large, almost velvety gray leaves and can become up to 6′ across: more sprawling than it is bushy. Grow all datura in part shade or full sun and rich, moist soil. Tender, dormant in winter. The roots can be dug and saved in a cool, dry place over winter and replanted in spring if you live in the northern exposures. All datura are poisonous.
