Nicotiana alata is a species of tobacco.
Nictoiana alata is mainly grown as an ornamental plant; numerous cultivars and hybrids are derived from it.
In Iran, narghila tobacco is sometimes produced from N. alata; it is not chopped like cigarette tobacco, but broken up by hand.
Seedlings do best when gradually introduced to outdoor environment over the course of a week.
Deadhead spent flower stalks for best blooming results.
