Nicotiana Seeds
Nicotiana plants, also referred to as tobacco plants, are a highly popular variety of flower plants. While their leaves are commonly used in the production of tobacco products, they are often grown in gardens for their eye-catching appearance. They are great wildlife flower seeds, commonly attracting bees and butterflies to many growers’ spaces. These flowers are loved for their enticing scent, both making your growing space simultaneously look and smell beautiful.

How to Grow Nicotiana from Seed
Growing nicotiana seeds generally isn’t too difficult. Their germination is relatively fast, so make for easier growning from seed than some other varieties of flowers. Their ideal conditions are a sunny or slightly shaded spot, while being planted in well-drained and moist soil. They shouldn’t face any particular issues, but be sure to use slug and snail control products if these pests pose a problem.
As half-hardy annuals, these nicotiana seeds are able to withstand cooler temperatures for year-round additions to your garden. They can be overwintered with protection from a sheltered garden. After cutting them back in autumn, adding mulch at the base of these plants will make them more likely to regrow in the springtime. By deadheading any spent blooms, you can prolong their growing season.
Once fully grown, nicotiana plants vary in height, making them suitable for many different displays. Some stay compact, while others provide well-needed height for summer displays. In fact, some varieties are able to grow as high as 1.5m (5ft).
