Desert Tobacco (Nicotiana trigonophylla) .... growing happily in the greenhouse. ...
... Tobacco is one of the most beatiful plants to grow and be near. We are very excited to see this plant vegging out in cold temps at this coldest and lowest light point of winter. She’s a perennial desert plant of the American SW. We sowed the seed in late Fall. I’ll post more information about this strain of tobacco below as well as where you can source seeds. Happy New Year and cheers to a great year ahead Steem Blockchain family!

"(Desert Tobacco, Wild Tobacco, Winpuri, Coyote Tobacco, Pi’va) Perennial desert plant of the American SW, usually found at low to mid elevations among rocks, under pines and in dry washes. Growing 1-3 feet tall and producing 1 to 1.5 inch long, tubular, greenish-white flowers in terminal clusters, it is a wonderful plant from a magical landscape. The leaves are sticky, covered with glandular hairs, and may attain a good size, sometimes as long as six inches. The Papago, Cahuilla, Mojave, Yuma, Cocopa and Maricopa tribes considered this a sacred plant and used it in ritual and (often wrapped in the inner husk of corn) as a cigarette, for their smoking pleasure.
