Flowers look like little screaming mouths. Native to western South America (Chile, Peru, and Bolivia) this nicotiana takes its Latin name from the sticky, resinous texture of its leaves and stems. Its very showy peachy/salmony flowers are more cup-shaped than its tube-flowered relatives and with an airier placement along the stem. Can grow to 3.5’ with many stems, but shorter, smaller plants might be more common. The Hummingbirds loved this one! Doesn’t last as a cut, but a stunner in the garden. 75 days. Full sun to partial shade. Photo courtesy of Uprising Seeds.
