Tobacco 'Langsdorff's Tobacco'

Hummingbirds love the floral wind chimes of this Nicotiana; their beaks are a perfect match with the dangling vibrant green blooms. Introduced from Brazil in 1819, N. langsdorffii grows from a tiny seed quickly once it gets going; its relatively narrow leaves and sturdy upright stems support the cascades of bloom that soon follow. Lovely with perennial grasses or against a dark-leaved perennial or shrub.
