ornamental tobacco

Ornamental tobacco is popular with hobby gardeners, particularly because of its pretty tubular flowers. It belongs to the nightshade family, and many varieties emit a pleasant fragrance at night. More than sixty species of ornamental tobacco can now be found worldwide. However, it is not suitable as a cut flower. As the name suggests, ornamental tobacco is cultivated for ornamental purposes and not for tobacco production.

Blossom:

The star-shaped tubular flowers come in white, yellow-green, pink, and purple. They all have a single eye and a short, five-lobed corolla. The diameter is usually around 5 cm. The flowers emit a delicate fragrance, especially in the evening hours. The upright, branched plant is a wonderful cut flower. Ornamental tobacco blooms for a very long time and, if sown in March, produces its flowers as early as June. In the garden, its fragrance attracts moths, which in turn are food for bats. This ornamental tobacco is, as the name suggests, purely decorative. Under no circumstances should it be smoked or chewed, as this is poisonous!

Leaves:

Large, elliptical leaves, entire and downy. In a pretty green, they are particularly decorative with the white flowers.
