Tobacco, Night Blooming Azteca (Nicotiana alata), potted plant, organic

Family: Nightshade (Solanaceae)

Annual.  90 days to flowers

(Azteca Night Blooming Tobacco)  Elongated leaves form a loose basal rosette that gives rise to multiple upright branches that are stiff and self-supporting, flowering to 3 feet.  The white, heavenly scented flowers flare out in the evening and bloom all night long, sending trails of exotic essence out over the summer-warmed landscape.  The flowers last through the morning and collapse by midday, only to come on again that evening.  Space plants 3 feet apart.

Potted plant, certified organically grown
