The Aztec tobacco plant is traditionally grown for its large leaves, which can be turned into smoking tobacco, but it can also be grown for its beautiful yellow flowers, which resemble overgrown primroses.

The Aztec tobacco plant can easily be grown outdoors in Denmark, but flowering occurs quite late in the year due to the cold climate. It can also be grown in a greenhouse or even as a houseplant, where you can keep it alive for several years.
