It feel so good to see it blooming in your garden, the plant may get over 6 feet if in ground and with daily 10-15 blooms per plant.. its a hungry plant and readily benefits from added fertilizers..

Datura is Brugmansias cousin. Are they both easy perennials in Lahore? What are the flowering seasons?
