Nicotiana langsdorffii is a fantastic nicotiana for growing in large swathes at the back of an herbaceous border, or dotting among other perennials. It bears tall spikes of lime-green flowers and makes an excellent cut flower, the perfect foil for more boldly coloured plants, both in the garden and the vase.

Grow Nicotiana langsdorffii in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to prolong flowering.
