Propagating Moonflower (Datura) by Seedlings and Seeds Instead of Division

Datura Division Not Recommended

Datura has a long taproot, making division difficult and risky. Instead:

• Transplant volunteers: Dig the numerous self-sown seedlings around the parent.
• Sow seeds: Collect from ripe thorny capsules; germinate like tomatoes (75°F, 2–3 weeks).

Caution: All parts of datura are highly poisonous. Wear gloves; keep away from children/pets.
