Perfume Bright Rose Flowering Tobacco

Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Bright Rose' (Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Bright Rose') is a vivacious, intensely fragrant flowering tobacco that fills the warm-season garden with both bold, energetic color and an irresistible, pervasive sweet perfume from midsummer through the first frost. The Perfume series stands apart from all other Nicotiana hybrids through its outstanding, all-day fragrance and its day-open blooms — upward-facing, star-shaped flowers that remain expressively open in full sunlight rather than closing like older impatiens-type varieties — and 'Bright Rose' delivers those hallmark qualities in a vivid, saturated hot rose-pink that brings confident, emphatic color energy to borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Compact and freely branching, this variety forms a lush, well-rounded mound blanketed in cheerful, fragrant blooms that partner beautifully with white, purple, lime, and silver companions throughout a long, generous season.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish quickly and launch into its prolific bloom display. 'Perfume Bright Rose' excels in sunny to lightly shaded borders, mixed seasonal containers, cutting gardens, and fragrant patio plantings where its bold color, day-open blooms, and pervasive sweet fragrance create a compelling, multi-sensory garden experience. Its compact, well-branched mounding form is ideally scaled for front-of-border placement and container use, making it one of the most practically versatile and ornamentally rewarding members of the celebrated Perfume series.

• Bold, Saturated Hot Rose-Pink Day-Open Blooms: Vivid, saturated hot rose-pink star-shaped flowers remain fully open and expressive throughout the entire day — unlike older Nicotiana varieties that close in sunlight — delivering confident, emphatic color from sunrise to sunset and establishing 'Bright Rose' as the most energetically colored member of the Perfume series.
• Exceptional Sweet Fragrance All Day & Evening: Bred specifically for outstanding, pervasive sweet fragrance, 'Bright Rose' releases its delightful scent continuously throughout the day and into the evening — perfuming the surrounding garden with a generous, accessible sweetness that enriches every outdoor moment near the planting.
• Prolific, Long-Season Continuous Bloom: Flowers abundantly and continuously from midsummer through the first frost on a compact, freely branching mound — requiring minimal deadheading to maintain a generous, cheerful display of fragrant hot rose-pink color across the full warm season.
• Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: The tubular, nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, hawk moths, bees, and butterflies reliably throughout the growing season — adding vibrant wildlife energy and genuine ecological value to borders, patio gardens, and mixed container plantings.
• Versatile Border & Container Performer: The compact, well-branched, mounding habit is ideally scaled for sunny borders, patio containers, mixed seasonal plantings, and cutting gardens — delivering bold fragrance and vivid color in a well-mannered, space-efficient, easy-care package from planting through frost.
