Hi Richo, In your opinion, is this variety as effective in a topical pain application as traditional A. Belladonna? I’ve been using the traditional variety, but living in the deep south, I’d love to try this variety if it’s as effective. The more heat/drought tollerant, the easier on us. 🙂 Thanks so much for all you do! Kind regards! K

hello km, i recently researched this for the belladonna portion of the nightshade section of “Growing Plant Medicine Vol 2” and found it to be very similar to Atropa belladonna with a few different botanical subtleties that really make no biochemical impact. Most of the literature is in russian so that was a bit challenging. The 2 species are interchangeable. We got a good seed harvest on this this year btw. richo

When I buy this will I receive the plant already past the process of stratification and such and it will be young and potted?
