Angel's Trumpet, a native of Mexico and the southwestern United States, is a tropical perennial once associated with Indian religious rights. Also called Indian Apple or Sacred Datura, this spectacular ornamental was acclaimed "very splendid" by Boston seedman Joseph Breck. Angel's Trumpet grows three to five feet in full sun with ten inch leaves and seven inch flowers. These fragrant pure white, trumpet-shaped blossoms only open in the evening or on cloudy days. The spiny, ball-shaped fruit, poisonous like most Datura species, is also highly ornamental. USDA Zones 6-9.
