Purple flowered Datura metel “Fatsuosa” is a rare relative of the Nightshade family with an interesting history in traditional cultures across the world. Datura literally means “thorn-apple” in Hindi originating from Sanskrit. Often confused with Angel’s Trumpet main visual difference is that Datura’s beautiful large bell-shaped flowers point up, while Angel’s Trumpet flowers point down.

After Datura flowers bloom, they produce spiky round seed pods, hence it’s descriptive name “Thorn Apple.” Do not consume! Datura is not an actual apple. Extremely poisonous/lethal!

Extracts from this plant and its relatives are narcotic and, if ingested, potentially lethal. The narcotic properties of species have been known since before recorded history. They once figured importantly in religious ceremonies of southwestern Indians. DO NOT CONSUME.

Grown as an annual in temperate climates USDA Zone 5-7 or short-lived perennial in tropical/subtropical regions USDA Zone 8+.

Internally it is known to treat digestive system problems.*

Aloe vera contains polysaccharides that are beneficial to the human body in addition to the vitamins it contains. Aloe vera can be used as a purgative and laxative, as well, if the yellow bitter liquid on the inside is not rinsed out prior to internal use.*

Aloe vera will produce little babies, which can be transplanted into separate pots or garden. So, you will have an unlimited FREE supply of this wonderful plant!

Care is easy! Most important thing is NOT to overwater!

In colder climates people often grow it indoors, which is convenient, since it’s always within a hand’s reach.
