An interesting cultivar as each flower fades giving the effect of three colors on individual plants. Masses of rosy red, pink, and white ever-changing, sweetly scented tubular flowers are poised above the wiry stalks with a gracefulness that only nicotiana can provide in the garden. Grows to 4 feet.
