Angel Trumpet

A resilient native native Texas herbaceous that provides year-round foliage and structure to the landscape. Native across the Central Great Plains, Chihuahuan Deserts, Cross Timbers, East Central Texas Plains, Edwards Plateau, Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, High Plains, Southern Texas Plains, Southwestern Tablelands, and Texas Blackland Prairies, Angel Trumpet (Datura wrightii) thrives in local conditions while supporting the surrounding ecosystem. During spring, summer, and fall, the plant produces delightfully fragrant, white flower clusters. Flowering gives way to ornamental capsules that ripen through summer and autumn. It plays a vital ecological role as Manduca sexta, Carolina Sphinx Moth. A larval host plant for Carolina Sphinx Moth, Manduca sexta, which is the primary pollinator for the species. Few other species can access its nectar. Thriving in clay, dry, loam, sand, and well drained, Angel Trumpet demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and adapts seamlessly to drought conditions. It features high deer resistance.
