NICOTIANA SEEDS

The Nicotiana genus, commonly known as Flowering Tobacco, is a fragrant and versatile member of the Solanaceae family. These annuals and perennials are celebrated for their tubular, star-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, red, green, and purple, which bloom from summer to autumn. Many Nicotiana species release their sweet fragrance in the evening, making them a favourite for night gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Native to the Americas, Nicotiana thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These easy-to-grow plants are ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and containers. Popular species such as Nicotiana alata, or Jasmine Tobacco, are particularly admired for their fragrance, while Nicotiana sylvestris, with its tall, elegant flower spikes, adds architectural interest.

The Nicotiana genus combines beauty, scent, and ease of care, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking colourful, fragrant plants that attract pollinators and enhance outdoor spaces.
