Tobacco
Nicotiana tabacum
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a vigorous, large-leaved annual or short-lived perennial best grown in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-draining soil. Water regularly during the growing season and feed with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to encourage lush foliage. Handle with care as all parts of the plant contain nicotine and are toxic if ingested.
