A striking colour choice for modern summer planting, this compact, ornamental tobacco produces masses of soft, trumpet-shaped flowers in a distinctive lime green shade that glows in evening light. The blooms open from late afternoon onwards and release a gentle, sweet fragrance that becomes more noticeable at dusk, adding another layer of interest to patios and seating areas.

With a naturally bushy, well-branched habit, it performs reliably in containers, window boxes and mixed bedding schemes, offering reliable flowering throughout summer. Nicotiana ‘Cuba Deep Lime’ combines unusual flower colour, long-lasting performance and adaptability to sun or partial shade, making it an easy and effective choice for smaller garden spaces.


  • Garden care:
    Protect Nicotiana from frost by planting out only after the risk has passed, or by using cloches or horticultural fleece in cooler weather. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil or compost moist by watering regularly during dry spells, ensuring the roots don’t dry out.

    Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every fourteen days throughout the growing season to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong the display.
    • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; avoid skin contact
