Lime Green Flowering Tobacco
Nicotiana alata 'Lime Green'
(nih-koe-shee-AY-nah) (ah-LAY-tah)
Is lime green the new pink for gardeners? It sometimes seems that lime colored plants are taking over. I have personally planted ‘Limemound’ Spirea, ‘Lime Sublime’ Roses and ‘Lime Rickey’ Coral Bells this year. This flowering tobacco has a really strong lime coloring as both the flowers and foliage impart the color. This plant almost glows under the right conditions and maybe that is the attraction.
Nicotiana is a nicely fragrant annual that likes full sun or part shade with moist soil. It is a native of North and South America. Since the plant contains nicotine it is considered poisonous if ingested.

I've never seen a lime tobacco plant before.......... I do like lime in the garden too.
Yes, lime green flowers seem to be becoming favourites. Your Nicotiana is very pretty. I have not seen this before.
