Woodland Tobacco
3,55 $
There are numerous tobacco varieties, but woodland tobacco is the greatest. Literally.
The plant grows big quickly, and the stems can branch out. The leaves are very long and large, oblong, and of a light green shade. The flowers are clustered in a tight panicle, and their colour is a pure white. At nighttime, the plant’s perfume gets stronger and attracts moths and other night pollinators.

In some countries, the mature seeds are roasted and used as coffee beans. A member of the hibiscus family (Okra latin name is Hibiscus esculentus), its flower is one of the most beautiful in the garden. Originally from Africa, Okra entered Spain in the 8th Century with the moorish invasion. Later introduced in the United States by African slaves, it was considered for some time as poor people food. It is an essential ingredient in gumbo and is commonly used in Louisiana and Southern States cuisine.
