Nicotiana alata
Deep Purple

Want perfume in the early evening summer garden? Nicotiana alata ‘Deep Purple’ delivers with velvety burgundy-purple blooms and a rich fragrance that becomes even more noticeable as the day cools. This easy annual flowering tobacco produces masses of star-shaped, 2" flowers on compact plants about 20" tall, bringing color, scent, and pollinator activity to sunny beds and containers.

Also known as Deep Purple Nicotiana, this long-blooming annual is lovely in cottage gardens, fragrant flower borders, cutting gardens, and patio plantings where its evening perfume can be enjoyed up close. The open-faced tubular flowers attract hummingbirds and moths, while the dark bloom color pairs beautifully with lime green, apricot, pale pink, silver foliage, and ornamental grasses.

Plant Nicotiana alata ‘Deep Purple’ in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and regular water. It is not fussy, blooms generously through the warm season, and brings a deliciously moody note to garden combinations. Explore more fragrant favorites in our Nicotiana collection.
