Nicotiana 'Sensation Mix'

Description:

Easy to grow from seed, producing clouds of airy colour. Tubular, star shaped flowers in pinks, purples and whites, open all day long (vs other nicotiana that open in the evening). Not as big and tall as Nicotiana Grandiflora.

Perfect for cottage gardens and borders. Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Blooms from early 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 "Grandiflora" is possible.

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