How far should I space Datura Metel Plants Apart from Each Other?

I am going to put my plants in the ground this year to get more flowers and bigger blooms. They always get pot bound really fast and I read that Datua Metel plants naturally have a massive root system. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!

Datura metel spreads more laterally than vertically. I would space them about four feet apart, or so.
Datura metel are my most favorite of all the Datura's too! You should post a grow log, so we can all enjoy their beauty

3' should be fine with correct pruning If your tight for space you can do 2. I would bet 4 plants crammed in 2 square feet will do better than any amount in a big bucket.
They do spread out but remove downwards and crossing branches as they grow and it will tame it.

Ok thanks for the help guys. Is there a specific forum section that I should post my grow log? This sounds like fun and would give me good motivation.

I am taking a break from daturas This season. Instead I am Growing some iochroma Australe. A new plant for me to study.
It is called “Blue angels trumpet” For them that are not familiar With it. I have only known About it for a few months.
Anyway. Here is a shot Of my baby.

I feed it Everyday and it just keeps Growing. And it’s only March! Will definetly be taking cuttings But what would the right time To take them?
--------------------
The mushrooms are great. The mushrooms are fine. Give me them with lashings of wine.

Wow, those flowers are super cool. I will be cultivating a spot in my yard for the daturas, bought a Honda Mini Tiller-Cultivator for my garden this year. This thing is so bad ass and starts up so easy with only 1-2 pulls. I highly recommend everyone to get one of these!
