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.

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.
