The devil's trumpet self seed. There are several throughout my garden. In full sun they thrive, but even in partial day sun they do well. Some years I start in pots and put out when it warms up, to get a head start in our short growing season.

My grandfather called these Angel's Trumpet. He planted them at my mom's house when he moved in with us in 1972. They continue to come up every year. They are spectacular and the smell intoxicating. Too bad they are poisonous. If I lived in a rural area, I'd grow them again.

Don't they bloom at night? There's a difference between those moonflowers and the jimson weed. One is a vine, the other is a bush.
