Moon Plant Identification: Datura vs. Thunbergia with Toxicity Warning

"Moon plant" applies to multiple species. Two main candidates:

1. Datura (Jimsonweed/Thorn Apple)

  • Bush form, large trumpet flowers
  • HIGHLY POISONOUS: seeds, leaves, stems, roots
  • Hallucinogen → dangerous for teens/children/pets
  • Often reseeds annually
  • Easy from seed

2. Thunbergia (Black-eyed Susan Vine)

  • Vining, not bush
  • Some called "moon plant"
  • Non-toxic

Action

Google "Datura moon plant" and "Thunbergia moon plant" images. Match yours. If Datura: remove if children/pets access area. The "trip before you die" reality makes it unacceptable for family gardens.
