Does Nicotiana glauca grow wild there like it does here?
6 Sep, 2011

I could have sent you seeds. Nicotiana gluaca grows out of the rockiest soils here. It even pops up in asphalt along the freeways. It's actually a big weed here.

I'm just looking for a nice specimen plant!

Meanie:
I've never seen one here growing as a potted specimen plant. It typically grows as a small tree to 25ft/7.6m (sometimes taller).
7 Sep, 2011
Apparently so!

Believe-it-or-not this tree is actually considered a noxious weed in all of California. It still think it's a very nice tree.

I do believe it - you lot think of Datura as a weed!!!!!!!!!!!
7 Sep, 2011
LOL! I can't believe the Datura plants are still blooming along the freeways. I thought they would've stopped blooming by now.

My D.metel is still blooming well despite the cool weather.

Meanie:
They're blooming here despite it being sweltering hot and the soil being hard as concrete.

ive grown some of those this year too meanie. Yours look very free from slug damage, unlike mine. I dont like to use slug control too much cos of doggies! They also grow in shady places which is useful. I will definately grow these again.
