I used to struggle to get hummingbirds to stick around. Sure, they’d visit, but the moment something better came along, they were gone.
Native to South America and a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), this plant brings an unmistakable elegance to garden beds, borders, and containers.
Another reason hummingbirds love flowering tobacco? It blooms in the evening. Most nectar-rich flowers are at their best during daylight hours, but Nicotiana takes a different approach.
Getting flowering tobacco to thrive in your garden is easier than you might think. This plant loves warmth and sunlight, so pick a spot with full to partial sun exposure
Once your Nicotiana is fully established, it’s remarkably low-maintenance—but a few simple tricks can keep it blooming at its best.
If you spot something hovering near your Nicotiana at dusk and think, "That’s a huge hummingbird!", take a closer look—you might be seeing a hummingbird moth.
