some species can be raised from seed, (try Chiltern seeds or Ebay as sources) but if you are marrying in September then that's not enough time, so you need to buy plants ready grown. Most big garden centres stock Datura and Brugmansia (looks a lot like Datura); try Dobbies if there's one near you, or just B%26amp;Q or Homebase. Ebay might also be worth trying.





Bear in mind that Datura is one of the most toxic plants on the planet: i'm sure nobody is going to eat them but getting the sap on your skin (as when holding a bouquet) can allow the toxins to enter your system. Also, if you get the sap on your fingers then rub your eyes you may end up with pupils that are dilated for 3-5 DAYS! (this is due to the large amounts of hyoscine and atropine in datura).
Reply:Don't know where you can get a plant but I bought some seeds from Thompson and Morgan last year, planted them in the spring and they are doing really well.
