PlantFiles: Flowering Tobacco, Nicotiana
Nicotiana langsdorfii

These understated, chartreuse green flowers look nice with more brightly colored flowers. Nicotiana langsdorffii attracts hummingbirds in my garden.

This wonderful Nicotiana is perennial in 9b. Does better in dappled shade because of our extreme heat and wind.

This plant grows well on the west side of my house. It likes lots of heat, sun, and humidity- like its native land. Wanted to add that I have read (and the little tag that came with the starter I bought at a very impressive nursery here in Portland) says that all parts of the tobacco plant are toxic and should not be ingested! It's also nice because the Native Americans use Tobacco as an offering to the Great Spirits. After I do my clippings I put them right back into the garden as a offering of gratitude for our Earth.
