''Nicotiana alata'' is a species of tobacco. It is called winged tobacco, jasmine tobacco, ''tanbaku'', and sometimes Persian tobacco, though the latter name is also used for ''Nicotiana persica''. Unlike the latter species, which is of some commercial importance in the production of Iranian Tobacco Company cigarettes, ''N. alata'' is mainly grown as an ornamental plant; numerous cultivars and hybrids are derived from it. In Iran, narghila tobacco is sometimes produced from ''N. alata''; it is not chopped like cigarette tobacco, but broken up by hand. *Flowering Season: Summer to fall *Light Requirements: Sun to partial shade *Flower Color: Lime green, maroon red, white, yellow, pink, and crimson *Height: 12 to 24 inches *Spacing: 12 to 14 inches *Comments: Low drought tolerance Has a lovely fragrance in the evening to night. Most varieties bloom late-afternoon to evening. Seedlings do best when gradually introduced to outdoor environment over the course of a week. Plants tend to self-sow. (Color may be the original or occasionally several colors on one plant). Deadhead spent flower stalks for best blooming results. This plant is called by Romanian people ''Queen of the night'' (because Selenicereus grandiflorus does not exist in the natural flora of Romania) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicotiana alata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
