    Depending on the variety, your Datura should be able to overwinter in your zone 6 garden.
    Check the specifics of the variety you are growing, as not every variety is as cold hardy as others.

    Here are some links with more information.

    Datura, depending on the variety is hardy in zone 5-7.

    Your plant should have wintered over and grow this spring when temperatures are warm enough.
    Here is a link with growing and care information.

    Verify the plant that you purchased, a true Datura or is it a Brugmansia?

    Here are some articles with more information.

    Seeds can be collected in late summer after they have dried on the vine.
    You can direct plant right into the garden at this point.
    Root cuttings can be taken also.
    Use a trowel to unearth a section of datura's thick roots.
    Prune a 3- to 4-inch section of the thickest roots for each datura plant that you intend to grow. Do not prune more than one-third of a single datura plant's roots during any one season. Re-bury the parent plant's roots when you have finished pruning.
    Plant each root section 1 inch deep, cut-section up and 1 foot apart.

    There a a few reasons this could be happening. The first and most common reason is that there is a lack of watering. You can try increasing water to the plant to help it support the blossoms after they open.

    The next is that there might be thrips on the plant. This article will help you with that:
