Donna, this is datura since brugmansia doesnt have a purple /white
combo.....and datura isnt hardy in zone 5......I dont know how much they are
selling it for but you can go to gardenweb and swap seeds for that plant for
postage most times or just swap some of your seeds for what they would
like.....growing the plant from seed is very easy but if you are in a hurry I
guess buying the plant would be a good thing..I love datura and brugs and try
to start the seeds early in the spring to have plants in the garden
blooming....Judy
