Transform your evening garden with the intoxicating fragrance of Jasmine Scented Nicotiana. This elegant, branching plant reaches heights of 3–4' and features pendulant, creamy-white flowers accented with delicate pink streaks. Known as a "moonlight garden" favorite, its scent becomes most powerful at night, attracting fascinating hawk moths and other nocturnal pollinators.
Seed & Planting Care
While this variety is famously easy to grow, its tiny seeds require specific handling for the best results.
Sowing Method: * Direct Sow: Scatter seeds directly over the soil surface once the danger of frost has passed.
Indoor Start: For earlier blooms, start transplants 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.
Light Requirement: These seeds are very fine and require light to germinate. Do not bury them; simply press them firmly into the surface of the soil so they have good contact.
Germination Tip: Keep the soil surface consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings appear.
Spacing: Allow enough room for its 3–4' tall branching habit to ensure good air circulation.
Growing & Harvest Profile
Days to Maturity: 75 days.
Life Cycle: Grown as a hardy annual.
Self-Seeding: If you allow the flower heads to dry at the end of the season, this plant will generously reseed itself, providing new "volunteer" plants for your garden next spring.
