    Good Day

    In the early spring I had to have my drain tile replaced around the perimiter of the house which included breaking up, and digging up the concrete back patio. After it was all fixed we in the absence of enough funds had the trench refilled and stones put down as a temporary measure. Later I noticed this plant had started to grow up through the stones at the edge of what was the old concrete patio. (NB. The patio is covered). Well this plant continued to grow all through the summer, the autumn and now it stands as of this morning at 77 inches high. All through its growth it produced long white tubular flowers which splay at the end. The flowers are approx 4 inches long and have no scent, and they resemble Nicotinea. Any help would of course be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks
    David

    Nicotiana sylvestris. It more than resembles Nicotiana.
