| Sylvestris is native to Argentina and is often called Woodland Tobacco. Gene sequencing has revealed N. Sylvestris, along with N. Tomentosa, to be the 2 ancestors common to all modern day Tobaccums. Sylvestrisis a good producer of leaves, but today is best known for its large trumpet shaped white flowers. The leaves are densely packed on the stalk and remain near the bottom of the plant. They have a nicotine content averaging 3.9%. Flowers appear on top of a 3-4 foot high stalkin 45-50 days, rising above the leaves and often form a cascading white waterfall effect. Sylvestris is a striking addition to any flower garden. |
