Nicotiana White Trumpets

The evening garden’s most elegant plant. Nicotiana White Trumpets produces long, slender white trumpet flowers on tall, branching stems that release a powerful, sweet jasmine-like fragrance as dusk falls — one of the most intoxicating scents in the summer garden, designed to attract night-flying moths.

Tall and architectural at 90–120cm, it works beautifully at the back of a border or in large containers near a seating area where the evening fragrance can be fully appreciated.
