Sensation Mix Flowering Tobacco

Sensation Mix Flowering Tobacco
Nicotiana alata

This beautiful, ornamental flowering tobacco has fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in mixed shades of carmine, pink, purple and white. It is attractive to pollinating insects and hummingbirds. The plants grow eighteen to thirty-six inches tall and are ideal for cottage, fragrant and cut flower gardens. Thrives in a location with moist, well-drained soil and that receives partial shade to full sun.

This tender annual, when sown in the spring, blooms in the summer. Like other tobacco species, this one lends itself to getting an early start on the season by starting seeds indoors in pots about six weeks prior to the last expected frost date for the spring. Each packet contains 0.1 gram, which is hundreds of seeds.
