Datura metel 'Triple White'

It is a pretty plant with dramatic flowers that last a couple of days (in USDA Zone 11, anyway). When the flowers start to fade, they become noticeably fetid. The flowers open in late afternoon releasing their fragrance. I added this plant to my garden to attract butterflies, moths, hummingbirds but in my garden the nectar lovers did not show interest. I grew the plant in a container so do not know how much it would have spread. In my experience the plant was more foul-smelling overall with some brief spurts of pleasant smelling. All parts of this plant are poisonous even in very small quantities. I discontinued growing this plant because the nectar lovers showed no interest, although i did not check the night time activity which could have been significant. In addition i have a small garden and really found the fragrance to be mostly offensive.

I like this opinion
