When I lived in NJ in the planter in yard I had the most beautiful datura the plants got over 5 feet tall and every morning I'd go out to smell the sweet intoxicating scent before the the flowers fade. They reseeded beautifully, I got tons of seeds to dry and save and spread around. Now here in south florida I'm having a heck of a time trying to grow them. One plant came up for me. So much smaller than what I was used to. The reseeding just isn't happening. Whether on it's own or with my help. I just cut it down to the ground, it's coming back nicely but having some trouble dealing with the sun. What am I doing wrong? I saw pictures on this sight of gorgeous one, all different types, growing in pots. I haven't had luck there either. I have some seeds left, they are two years old now. Are they still viable? It's my favorite plant in the world, even with it's toxicity. Please, help.
