Nicotiana x sanderae ‘Perfume White’ is a relatively new addition to an enduringly popular family of plants. The jasmine-like scent which this bloom produces has been described as ‘divine’ and we at Hayloft would certainly agree. Serene, elegant and graceful with large, airy, upward-facing, trumpet-shaped blooms from June to September, flowers are sure to be much admired both in the borders and in carefully collated containers. Fragrance is amplified as the evening falls – luring in nocturnal pollinators to replace those who visited during the daytime and adding a sensual element to patios and outdoor dining spaces. Excellent as cut flowers for your home these beautiful blooms will last well in a vase so you can enjoy the perfume indoors too. Nicotiana x sanderae ‘Perfume White’ prefers to be grown in well-drained soil of any kind which benefits from sun or partial shade. Tender (H2) annuals which reach a height of approximately 50cm and spread 30cm.
