Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A refined & seldom offered species, Nicotiana glutinosa is chock full o’ old fashioned charm. Growing not more than 2’ tall & one foot in width, the elegantly articulated grey heart-shaped leaves give rise to elongated spikes of antique rose-colored starry bells with gaping mouths the perfect size for bumble-bee landings. Like other Nicotianas, it can withstand myriad exposures & soil types, but prefers average water & half-day sun exposure in good, loamy soil. EASY TO GROW!
