Description
Nicotiana alata var. grandiflora
Oh, the perfume that wafts through the air when this lovely plant is in bloom!
The stunning white pendulous flowers of this ornamental tobacco are only eclipsed by their olfactory bliss. Not-so-subtle scents of jasmine waft through the evening air, aiming to attract pollinators like noctuid and hawk moths, and mesmerizing us humans in the process! Plants can grow 3-4’ tall.
Seeds grown by Titbout's Seeds in Missoula, MT and Swift River Farm in Salmon, ID.

Directions: Direct seed outside after danger of frost, or sow indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Gently cover the tiny seeds with soil--not too much!
