Description
Nicotiana rustica This broad-leaved plant is quite unassuming until it shoots up thick stems loaded with acid green bell-shaped blooms. The versatile colour works with nearly every colour palette and the tall stems are a perfect filler for large-scale arrangements and pollinators seem to like them too.
Aztec tobacco was cultivated and used for ages. This potent psychoactive plant is grown in our gardens, not for smoking, but for the large leaves and phosphorescent green bell-shaped flowers. Poisonous if ingested- nicotine is toxic.
