Nicotiana sanderae ‘Perfume Lime’ is a more recent member of a family of plants which has been popular for generations. With jasmine-like scent which amplifies in intensity as the sun goes does – this makes a fabulous, zesty coloured addition to your summer garden, especially around entertainment areas. Serene, elegant and graceful, Nicotiana offer airy, upward-facing, trumpet-shaped blooms in an unusual and exciting lime colour. Excellent as cut flowers for your home these beautiful blooms will last well in a vase so you can enjoy the perfume indoors too. Nicotiana is a distant cousin of the indigenous American ‘tobacco plant’ and is often referred to by this name. The name originates from Jean Nicot, a French diplomat in the 1500’s, who was convinced of the medicinal properties within the tobacco leaves and presented it to the French royalty as a remedy for headaches. Nicotiana sanderae ‘Perfume Lime’ are loved by bees and prefer well-drained soil of any kind in full sun or partial shade. Blooming through the summer and well into autumn, these tender (H2) annuals reach a height of approximately 50cm and spread 30cm.
