Cultivation: If you have Hummingbirds in your area the brightly colored 1" to 2" flowers of the Nicotiana 'Hummingbird' series is sure to attract them. These compact plants are excellent for containers or beds. 

Plant Nicotiana Hummingbird Lemon Lime in full sun to light shade in moist fertile well drained soil in beds or containers. Space plants 10" - 12" apart. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
