Nicotiana alata aka "Flowering Tobacco"
This nicotiana is named for its "perfect" mix of flower colors: fuchsia, white, purple, salmon, lavender, rust, and bronze. It is a self-seeding annual that reportedly grows 5-6 feet tall (tho for us it was about 3 feet tall) . Flowers are also said to be "night-blooming" but we observed them blooming all day long throughout the summer and into the fall. We really enjoyed the perky trumpet-shaped flowers that just kept on blooming up and up the stalk for many weeks.
