Perfume Deep Purple Flowering Tobacco

Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Deep Purple' (Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Deep Purple') is a deeply atmospheric, richly colored flowering tobacco that combines velvety, saturated deep purple blooms with the Perfume series' signature all-day sweet fragrance — a moody, jewel-toned combination that brings sophisticated depth, sensory richness, and genuine evening-garden drama to warm-season borders, mixed containers, and fragrant patio plantings. The upward-facing, star-shaped flowers hold their saturated deep purple through the heat of summer with impressive color persistence — remaining fully open and expressively fragrant throughout the entire day and evening, unlike older Nicotiana varieties that close in sunlight. The result is a flowering tobacco of rare, compellingly atmospheric beauty that rewards both visual admiration and quiet sensory enjoyment in equal measure.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and begin its dramatic bloom display. 'Perfume Deep Purple' excels as a sophisticated accent in mixed borders and container arrangements where its dark, jewel-toned flowers create compelling contrast against silver foliage, lime-green companions, and creamy white flowers. It pairs with particular distinction alongside chartreuse sweet potato vine, white alyssum, silver artemisia, and pale lavender companions — delivering a richly layered, designer-level color combination of moody elegance and sustained fragrant beauty throughout the warm season.

• Rare Velvety Deep Purple Day-Open Blooms: Saturated, velvety deep purple star-shaped flowers remain fully open throughout the entire day — their rare, jewel-toned color creating sophisticated, moody contrast in borders and containers that is particularly dramatic paired with silver, chartreuse, and cream companions.
• Exceptional Sweet Fragrance All Day & Evening: True to the Perfume series hallmark, 'Deep Purple' releases a rich, pervasive sweet fragrance continuously throughout the full day and into the evening — perfuming patios, garden seating areas, and evening outdoor spaces with a generous, atmospheric intensity that enriches every moment spent nearby.
• Prolific, Long-Season Continuous Bloom: Flowers abundantly and continuously from midsummer through the first frost — maintaining its saturated deep purple color with impressive persistence through summer heat and delivering months of fragrant, moody, jewel-toned bloom with minimal maintenance required.
• Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: The tubular, nectar-rich deep purple flowers attract hummingbirds, hawk moths, bees, and butterflies reliably throughout the growing season — adding lively wildlife activity and genuine ecological value to borders and patio plantings in addition to the dramatic visual and olfactory appeal.
• Sophisticated Designer Color Anchor: The rare, velvety deep purple tone functions as a powerful, sophisticated color anchor in mixed planting compositions — creating bold jewel-toned contrast against light companions and atmospheric, layered depth when combined with other dark-toned flowers and foliage throughout the season.
