Hello TM, I’m not sure what e-mail you’re looking at but it is true there is a site-wide shift going on as we prepare for the 2021 season. At this point Atropa belladonna plants are available at $7.50 apiece. Richo

Stephani Patrick –
How do I care for this plant at this time of year? I live in Spring Texas. Should it be a container plant or can I plant it outdoors now and cover it during the cold/freeze?

Admin Richo Cech –
These are nursery grown and not outdoor acclimatized. I suggest planting to a gallon (the directions to do that come with the shipment) and growing out for a year before transplanting out to the shade garden. A cold greenhouse is best, but if there is no other choice, a sunny windowsill may work to overwinter.

I live near Orlando where we are zone 9B, very humid, and quite warm much of the year. Would belladonna do better here as a houseplant? Thanks.

Hello Mike,
As long as you provide very good drainage to the roots and plant in the shade, they will do well outdoors. As a houseplant, they can indeed work, but are usually not incredibly happy, and often shortlived when left potted. Richo

This is one of a few plants I ordered. Each one was very carefully packaged, so well that it took me a minute to figure out the system. Do not let shipping deter you, this shop places a great deal of effort into ensuring that plants arrive healthy no matter how far they travel. They provide instructions and a catalog. I will definitely order again. They answered all questions with patience and helpful information even before an order was placed both by phone and online. The reviews on the other plants purchased will be the same because this is true for every single one.

Hi! Make sure you hit “waitlist” on the plants, as we do have some nice flats of these and will re-inventory after shipping current orders. r
