Pollination, of course. The Datura’s male pollen is transferred by the moth to female flower parts, enabling fertilization to take place. The Sacred Datura can then produce fruit and seeds.

The seed pods of the exotic Datura inoxia (a dark purple Angel’s Trumpet) are beautiful and fascinating, but deadly.

Datura pods open when ripe. Brugmansia pods yellow and soften on the plant when ripe. Snip these, and press fresh seed into a well-draining soil, but do not entirely cover. Mist.
