Nicotiana Langsdorff's Tobacco HEIRLOOM Seeds
Nicotiana langsdorffii
Item #1294
Perennial (Tender). Discovered in South America in the early 1800s, this relative of smoking tobacco and other garden nicotianas is exceptional. The large leaves create a low-growing rosette that gives rise to the green bell-shaped flowers that droop from slender stems at all angles. Blue pollen inside the flowers is very unusual in the plant world. Unlike many other nicotianas, the flowers do not have a scent. Great for floral arrangements. Deer resistant, but attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Grown as an annual; perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer.
