Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Small, nodding, bell shaped flowers of bright lime-green bloom on tall graceful stems all summer long. Grow in front of dark castor beans for drama, or with tall verbena and grasses for a subtle interplay of color and form.

EASY, fast growing & almost everblooming, I love Brazilian native Nicotiana langsdorfii! Just a delight, it makes hundreds of bouncy little lime green bells on many multi-branching 3’ to 4’ stems. Cut them back & you’ll get more. A perfect companion to Roses, it can be grown in full sun along the coast but best green color occurs in shade. Hummingbirds swoon. Excellent cut flower that’s popular with flower arrangers. Lovely with Incarvillea arguta. Self-sows reliably. Deer resistant! To 1.5’ wide.
