Nicotiana ‘Whisper Mixed’ F1

Description

Ideal for adding height interest to beds and borders, these Nicotiana Whispers Mixed flower seeds produce an excellent show of summer flowers. From June all the way through to October, the branching stems are decorated with open clusters of fragrant, tubular flowers that start out red before fading to pink and eventually white as they mature. This creates an appealing tricolour effect on each plant. The small, fragrant blooms are a magnet for pollinators, enticing bees and butterflies into the garden all summer long.

Sow Nicotiana seeds from February to March and keep them in a propagator or other warm place at 18-23C. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into pots before hardening off gradually. Choose a sheltered spot in full sun in slightly acidic, moist but well-draining soil and plant the seedlings out when all risk of frost has passed, leaving 45-60cm between plants.
