Not at all .. I would think that it weakens it. As you've noticed, it's only making a few flowers every year and I bet it made lots of flowers the first year. Being in a pot which restricts it roots is not helping it either because it also restricts the size and growth of the whole plant. Let yours make seeds.

Datura innoxia is a sprawler, it likes to stay low and spread out. I just took this picture of two of my plants ... you can see, both are loaded with buds.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
