Product Details
Add dramatic color to the daytime garden and exotic fragrance to evenings outdoors with the star-shaped, velvety purple flowers of Nicotiana x sanderae ‘Perfume Deep Purple.’ The upward-facing blossoms welcome pollinators but don’t interest deer. A staff favorite in our trials, plants require minimal maintenance and they flower almost nonstop from summer into fall with no need for pinching or deadheading. This Tobacco Flower is tolerant of heat and humidity, and resistant to deer. Plant a drift in a sunny border or site several plants alongside the patio or in containers, the better to enjoy the evening perfume. A fine choice for cutting, too.
Nicotiana is a tropical genus that includes Tobacco as a member, and all of its 70-odd species are fragrant in flower, or leaf, or both. Plants have luminous flowers, which often open in the evening for many weeks during the summer and into fall. Grow in average, well-drained soil.

Shipping
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Latin Name Pronunciation: nih-ko-she-ay'nuh
A tropical genus that has Tobacco as its most widely known member, but all the 70-odd species are fragrant in flower or leaf, or both. Their pale, luminous flowers often open in the evening, so tuck plants in near a door or window to get their Jasmine-like perfume indoors. Give them full sun or partial shade, and grow in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, such as compost or peat moss.
