Nicotiana Plants

The Nicotiana that we look at here are the ornamental varieties

With over 60 species Nicotiana are a varied group of plants growing naturally in South America, Australia and North America.

With such geographical diversity the genus itself provides gardeners with diverse group of plants.  This is the  genus from where we get the tobacco plant or Nicotiana tabacum the plant of commerce. Hence the two names, Nicotine and Tobacco.

A few common characteristics including long tubular flowers are present in all species, some also make great foliage plants. With other species a tendency to self seed gives them a status of weeds in some areas. Nicotiana gluaca is one that is a declared weed.

Summary Growing Conditions.

  • Most varieties require full sun to light shade.
  • A humus rich well drained soil is best.
  • Most varieties have poor frost tolerance.
