This is a small nicotiana species, growing only 16-inches tall. The white flowers have a darker eye that's shaded a pretty lavender-purple. The leaves margins are wavy and shaped distinctly like a fiddle, hence it's common name. It's been a nice garden plant for me and quite easily grown from seed started a few weeks early indoors.
