Likewise, can you grow atropa Belladonna?
Atropa belladonna is rarely used in gardens, but, when grown, it is usually for its large upright habit and showy berries. Germination of the small seeds is often difficult, due to hard seed coats that cause seed dormancy.
In this manner, where does Belladonna grow?
A native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, the herb grows wildly in many parts of the United States, mostly in dumps, quarries, near old ruins, under shade trees, or atop wooded hills. Belladonna is a branching plant that often grows to resemble a shrub of about 4 feet in height within a single growing season.
Deadly nightshade is not commonly cultivated in residential gardens due to the plant's toxicity. Besides being found in the wild, it is grown as a curiosity specimen for educational purposes in botanical gardens.
