Deep, dark, and almost black, Nicotiana ‘Chocolate Chip’ was re-introduced by Select Seeds and we try to grow it every year! Its dangling tubular flowers are tipped in a rich, bittersweet chocolate hue, with hints of red emerging as the blossoms age, creating a subtle yet striking contrast. A perfect, moody “butterfly” for your designs and a real pollinator magnet.
