Description

The tallest, largest flowering nicotiana. Give it lots of room in the back of the beds. By mid-summer, stalks as thick as your finger shoot up 4 to 4 1/2 feet with enormous clusters of pendulous white blooms. These 4-inch trumpets bloom all summer, and their evening fragrance is very intoxicating.
