Datura seedlings are flowering

Post by Gruntfuttock »

I have buds on my Lilac le Fleur. These seedlings are 10 times the size of the single, double and triple whites. The Purple doubles are no shows.

I think it's a bit early to let them flower so I'll pinch out most buds, just leaving one or two to see what impact allowing them to flower early has.

Looking great there, I'd let them flower and enjoy them! When you get them outside watch them take off! You will have plenty of seeds from them by fall.

:D I agree with KHT, let them bloom. Daturas bloom while small, enjoy them, they will keep blooming. :P
