Flowering Tobacco 'Grandiflora'
Nicotiana alata
 
One of the most fragrant Flowering Tobaccos, and a long-revered garden favorite. Abundant branching sprays of 3 in. wide white star-shaped tubular flowers cover the 3 to 5 ft. tall plants.
Blooms open in the late afternoon or early evening and fill your summer garden with sweet jasmine perfume. Blooms remain open until mid-morning the following day. Flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and a variety of evening pollinators .
Plants are magnificent, a must for white or night-themed gardens. We recommend you grow Nicotiana alata 'Grandiflora' near windows where you can best appreciate the flowers as they open and enjoy their wonderful perfume. A tender perennial usually grown as an annual, with bloom continuing well into the fall.
