Datura metel 'Double Purple' Seeds for Planting
Know this in advance: color pigment variations of flower colors are normal. Things that affect flower color are:
- Why Flower Color May Vary
- Seasonal temperatures: Warm daytime temperatures followed by cooler evenings can influence the way flower colors develop throughout the season.
- Light conditions: Plants receiving more direct sunlight often display richer purple tones, while blooms and foliage growing in partial shade may appear lighter.
- Bloom age: Flower color can gradually change as individual blooms mature and naturally age, resulting in subtle variations over time.
- Growing conditions: Factors such as soil moisture, fertility, and soil characteristics can all influence the intensity and depth of the flower's coloration.
- Natural color variation: The balance between the creamy white interior and the purple outer petals is not always the same. During hot, sunny weather, blooms may appear lighter with more white showing. As temperatures become cooler later in the season, the purple coloring often becomes deeper and more pronounced.
