Datura is a herbaceous perennial with a sprawling, mounded habit, up to 3 ft high and 6 ft across. This variety of Datura metel has spectacular triple-flowers that are yellow in color. The flowers are very beautiful and last a few days compared to the singles that last a day. Plants from the Datura genus have a long history of use throughout both the Old and New Worlds. In India, the species is considered a holy plant called dutra or dhatura. The Daturas have been used for their narcotic properties in the wines and palm beers of Africa and are still used today in Morocco.
