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.
