Bronze Queen Nicotiana Seed
Unique chocolate color.
Bell-shaped, chocolate-purple blooms dance on contrasting bright green stems. Long stems add movement and interest to arrangements. Nicotiana flowers continuously for most of the season when cut back regularly. Blooms are relatively fragile and have a short vase life (5–7 days), making them best for casual bouquets, design work (not requiring a long vase life) and home cutting gardens. A favorite of pollinators and hummingbirds. Also known as flowering tobacco.Specs:
