Nicotiana, 'Only the Lonely'
(Nicotiana sylvestris) This statuesque nicotiana (part of the tobacco family) creates a spectacularly tall focal point to cottage-style gardens. Very vertical in stature, it grows from verdant green rosettes to 6+’ topped with clusters of extraordinarily long (4-5”) and slim, tubed, nodding white blooms. The effect of the sweetly fragrant clusters are like trailing fireworks in the evening garden but better because you know, they’re quiet and not smokey. Undeniably one of the tallest and most fragrant additions to your upcoming garden. Deer resistant.
