Nicotiana × sanderi,^[4] also known as Nicotiana × sanderae, is a hybrid of the tobacco species Nicotiana alata (syn. N. affinis) and Nicotiana forgetiana (syn. N. rubra).^[2]^[5] It is the most common ornamental Nicotiana variety found and sold in the United Kingdom. Nicotiana × sanderi requires soft soil mixed with sand to thrive. The plant will grow to heights of 3 feet (0.91 m) and will give off a sweet scent in the evening, like most Nicotiana plants.^{[citation needed]} Nicotiana × sanderi is not hardy against frost and will die if it comes in contact with it; however, it withstands drought. Because of its size, N. × sanderi is used as a house or garden plant.

An analytical study published in 1963 concluded that N. × sanderi leaves have a low nicotine concentration and a moderately low nornicotine concentration.^[5]
