Nicotiana alata - Flowering Tobacco 'Lime Green'

This variety of Heirloom nicotiana boasts lime green trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom on branching stems. A virtual hummingbird feast, these tropical-looking plants bloom hard in garden beds where their lovely color enhances other flower colors. Like all tobacco relatives, Lime Greens are deer resistant and can handle both heat and humidity. May overwinter in mild climates. Self seeds.  Add some chartreuse to your garden this year!
