Tobacco and companion plants
Tobacco plays nicely with other plants - here with purple coneflower and bronze fennel. Both provide lovely textural and color accents as they attract beneficial insects. So far this summer at Gowanus Projects we’ve been graced with many bumblebees as well as more than a few honeybees, which makes us wonder who may be keeping hives nearby.
The tobacco doesn’t have flowers yet, but it won’t be long now before the buds emerge from the top of the plant.
No flower buds yet... but not long now
