Actually, Datura's common name is "Jimson Weed"-supposedly from the
Jamestown settlers calling it such, so we in the SOUTHeast have recognized
it as a weed for almost 400 years...

The reason I said that is because some plants that grow in the east as weeds
are coveted here in the west and vice versa. For example, we grow Liriope
here as a landscape plant, but I have heard that it is a weed and called
monkey grass, etc. in the east. And here, Datura is a common weed and it is
grown in eastern gardens!
