Nicotiana also adds a touch each evening exoticism by emitting a wonderful fragrance as the sun goes down - ensuring your garden is filled with scent. 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.
