Datura 'Ballerina Purple' - Thorn Apple

Datura 'Ballerina Purple' is an exotic and dramatic flowering plant prized for its extraordinary double and triple trumpet-shaped blooms. This unique variety produces large, upward-facing flowers in shades of white flushed and edged with rich purple, creating a theatrical display from summer through to autumn. The elegant, ruffled blooms are beautifully complemented by lush green foliage and unusual spiny seed pods, giving the plant interest long after flowering.

Perfect for patio containers, courtyard gardens, and sunny borders, 'Ballerina Purple' becomes a focal point wherever it is planted. Its large, fragrant flowers are especially impressive in the evening, adding a touch of tropical glamour to outdoor spaces. Plant in a sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. Water regularly during warm weather, particularly when grown in pots, and feed every couple of weeks throughout the growing season to encourage continuous flowering. Remove faded blooms to keep plants looking tidy and promote further buds. In cooler regions, container-grown plants can be overwintered under cover.

Please note: All parts of Datura plants are toxic if ingested and should be grown with care around children and pets.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
