Nicotiana rustica
For thousands of years, this wild variety, also known as Aztec Tobacco, has been valued by Native American peoples for medicinal and ceremonial uses. Producing more nicotine than cultivated tobaccos, Wild Tobacco is a source of nicotine sulfate, often used as a natural insecticide. Wild Tobacco is not frost hardy but will flourish where summertime temperatures are 70-85℉. Mature plants can reach 5' tall.
