Nicotiana 'Grandiflora'

Description:

Easy to grow from seed, producing large, tall plants with large soft leaves and tons of flowers! Ideal for the back of the garden border, and in cottage gardens. Tubular, star shaped white flowers open in the evening and release a jasmine-like scent

Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies!

I panted these in a row on their own (with support) and they made a huge hedge full of flowers!

Blooms all summer through fall. 

Delicate flowers are suitable for casual home cutting gardens, but not ideal as cut flowers for longer lasting bouquets.

Breeder's notes:

A small amount of cross pollination with Nicotiana alata "Sensation Mix" is possible.

These seeds are from plants grown at Windfall Flowers, BC Canada.
