Purple Perfume Nicotiana
Certified Organic
Nicotiana alata
A deep purple, star-shaped flower
Scent is one way plants open our "doors of perception," reminding us of just how nuanced, multi-layered, and even psychedelic a perfume can be. Purple Perfume Nicotiana heightens our senses with its richly-hued blossoms, velvety foliage, and mind-bending scent. Perfect for containers on the porch or planted along borders, the slender, trumpet- like flowers open into a constellation of deep purple stars from late afternoon to morning. Site it where you can enjoy regular hits of its soft, powdery aroma.
