Perfume Lime Flowering Tobacco

Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Lime' (Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Lime') is a uniquely sophisticated, designer-coveted flowering tobacco that sets itself entirely apart within the celebrated Perfume series through its luminous, glowing chartreuse to lime-green star-shaped flowers — a rare, quietly electric color in the annual garden that functions simultaneously as a bold focal point, an elegant foil that amplifies every surrounding color, and a design-unifying thread that brings harmony and freshness to complex mixed planting compositions. Like all Perfume series varieties, 'Lime' delivers outstanding, pervasive sweet fragrance throughout the full day and evening with blooms that remain expressively open in sunlight — but its color is in a category entirely its own, bringing the kind of charged, unexpected vitality to the border that only truly rare flower colors can achieve.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and grow into its full, freely branching mounding form. 'Perfume Lime' is a particularly versatile designer plant — equally compelling massed in single-color sweeps where the lime-green creates a quietly electric carpet of unusual color, combined with deep purples and burgundies for high-contrast drama, or layered with whites and silvers for a refined, cool-toned palette of exceptional sophistication. Its unusual, luminous color and pervasive sweet fragrance consistently make it the most talked-about and admired plant in any mixed planting it joins.

• Luminous Chartreuse-Lime Green Day-Open Blooms: Rare, glowing chartreuse to lime-green star-shaped flowers remain fully open in sunlight — their luminous, quietly electric color simultaneously functioning as a bold focal point, an elegant color-amplifying foil, and a design-unifying thread that brings freshness and harmony to virtually any surrounding palette.
• Exceptional Sweet Fragrance All Day & Evening: True to the Perfume series standard, 'Lime' releases a generous, pervasive sweet fragrance continuously throughout the full day and into the evening — making it as richly sensory as it is visually distinctive for patio plantings, garden seating areas, and evening outdoor spaces.
• Unmatched Design Versatility: The rare lime-green color harmonizes with near-universal ease across the planting palette — from deep jewel tones to soft pastels, from warm ambers to cool lavenders — making 'Perfume Lime' the most flexible and design-adaptable member of the Perfume series for mixed borders, containers, and cutting gardens.
• Prolific, Long-Season Continuous Bloom: Flowers abundantly and continuously from midsummer through the first frost on compact, freely branching stems — delivering months of luminous lime-green color and pervasive sweet fragrance with minimal maintenance and virtually no deadheading required throughout the season.
• Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: The tubular, nectar-rich lime flowers attract hummingbirds, hawk moths, bees, and butterflies reliably throughout the growing season — adding lively wildlife activity and ecological value to borders and patio plantings that already benefit from the plant's extraordinary visual and olfactory appeal.
