Nicotiana langsdorffii Lemon Tree

Nicotiana langsdorffii Lemon Tree, known as Ornamental Tobacco Plant, boasts a rich green-yellow flowering, one of the most unique.

An annual plant native to South America (Brazil and Chile), the Lemon Tree ornamental tobacco plant is a new selection with generous flowering. Indeed, from June onwards, it produces beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers, lemon-green in colour, for approximately 4 to 5 months. The flowers measure 4-5cm (2in) in length and are borne on short but sturdy spikes at a height of 1m (3ft).

The glabrous leaves have a slight blue tint and form rosettes 30cm (12in) in diameter.

Easy to grow, Nicotiana langsdorffii Lemon Tree will thrive with rich soil and sufficient moisture until autumn. Plant it in full sun or partial shade, in a large container or at the back of a border.
