We planted our first jimsonweed (Datuna wrightii). For several years, it did well in our front yard. Then the deer and/or drought finally decimated it. Last May, I brought one home from the Festival of Flowers in San Antonio. What should I spy when I went to plant it? A volunteer jimsonweed! Yay! But then, not yay. Once again, the deer interfered and yanked it up. I tried replanting the remains in The Pasture, but I don't know if it's going to return.
In the meantime, guess what I spied in the original location? Yes, another volunteer jimsonweed! This time, I dug it up right away and replanted it in The Pasture. Please grow! P.S. This species has several common names, including moonflower.
