favorites are the Brugmansia or 'tree daturas'.

I have a pink flowered Brugmansia in a pot on the back porch. They can be
grown in the far north as a "patio plant" and moved inside to an unheated room
in the winter.
The plant that I am having trouble with is Nightshade. Our native variety
grows well enough... but I wanted the "Enchanters Nightshade" and I have
trouble getting the seeds to germinate. Any tips?
Blessings of the Midsummer Season!
