Nicotiana - Sensation Mix

~100 Seeds (0.02 grams) 

Nicotiana alata

Lush green foliage forms a graceful backdrop for tall, sturdy stems topped with clusters of trumpet-shaped blooms in a vibrant mix of scarlet, crimson, rose, lavender, and soft lime-green shades.

As evening approaches, these fragrant flowers release a sweet perfume that attracts moths and other nighttime pollinators, while hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies visit throughout the day. Their elegant form and long stems also make them a favourite for cut flower arrangements, where fresh buds continue to open in the vase.

Nicotiana Sensation Mix brings height, colour, and fragrance to garden beds, borders, and cottage-style plantings. The blend of rich jewel tones and unusual lime blooms pairs beautifully with summer annuals and creates a striking display when planted in drifts. Easy to grow from seed, start indoors and transplant after the last frost for months of continuous blooms that carry on until autumn's first frosts.

• Space: 8" to 1.5 feet
• Sun: Full Sun - Part Shade
• Germination: 10 - 21 days
• Height: 24 - 36"
• Annual (may self-seed in warmer climates)

Sowing: Start indoors (recommended) 6 - 8 weeks before last frost. Barely cover seeds, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not soggy. A heat mat is recommended for consistently warm soil temperatures. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Direct sowing is possible once the soil has warmed, but seedlings may take longer to establish.
