Tobacco, Jasmine Scented (Organic)

Nicotiana alata. 70 days.

Bright white trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in the evening and practically glow at night—simply stunning in the full moon! But more significant is the amazing jasmine smell that is particularly strong at dusk as it begins to attract large moths for pollination. The scent is so strong you can smell it from 30′ away and would be great planted near your porch, under the bathroom window, or anywhere you want to enjoy the sweet perfume. It’s amazing to me that we gardened for over 10 years before we first experienced this flower. Really, it should be in every garden. Suitable for containers. Flowers are much larger than most tobacco flowers. Sticky resin and nighttime blooming make this not a good candidate for cutting or bouquets. Annual that self-seeds easily.

Sow shallowly in flats indoors in spring. Transplant this tender annual to 18” centers when danger of frost has passed. May also be direct sown. Germination may be slow & erratic. Prefers full sun & well-drained soil. Likely to self-seed.

Seed Saving

Collect seeds from seedheads that are fully dry. Shell by hand, winnow and screen to clean. Dry seeds completely before sealing in airtight container. This is a different species than smoking tobacco, but 1/4 mile isolation from other tobacco varieties of the same species is recommended.
