Nicotiana × sanderae 'Merlin White': Elegant White Tobacco Plant for Garden and Containers

Nicotiana × sanderae 'Merlin White' is a beautiful hybrid tobacco plant that stands out for its pure white flowers, compact growth, and pleasantly sweet fragrance. This annual plant belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and is beloved for its long flowering period, ornamental value, and attractiveness to pollinators. 'Merlin White' is an ideal choice for borders, containers, balcony boxes, and biodiversity gardens.

Characteristics of Nicotiana × sanderae 'Merlin White'

'Merlin White' grows bushily and compactly, reaching a height of approximately 40–60 cm. The trumpet-shaped flowers are bright white and exude a soft, pleasant fragrance, particularly intense in the evenings and mornings. The aromatic gray-green foliage contrasts beautifully with the white flowers, adding texture and depth to borders and planters.

The flowers bloom from late spring to early autumn and attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making the plant both ornamental and ecologically valuable. Its compact size makes it suitable for both large borders and smaller container plantings.

Flowering and Maintenance

Nicotiana × sanderae 'Merlin White' is easy to grow from seeds or young plants. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny to partially shaded location. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, promotes long-lasting blooms.

Removing spent flowers encourages new blooms and keeps the plant compact and healthy. As an annual, 'Merlin White' completes its life cycle within a single growing season but can set seed, which will spontaneously produce new plants the following year.

Garden and Landscape Use

'Merlin White' is versatile in the garden:

  • Borders: adds height, colour and fragrance to mixed flower beds.

  • Containers and planters: ideal for terraces, patios and balconies, where the white flowers provide a fresh accent.

  • Biodiversity garden: attracts pollinators and supports a healthy ecological balance.

  • Evening garden: the pleasant scent makes the plant perfect for relaxing spots in the evening.

The white flowers create an elegant and light color accent that combines well with other annuals or perennials for a harmonious garden design.

Safety aspects

Although the plant is ornamental and fragrant, Nicotiana × sanderae belongs to the nightshade family and contains alkaloids. Therefore, consumption is not recommended. Touching the plant is completely safe, but children and pets should be warned not to eat any part of the plant.
