Description

Harvested from the gardens at Monticello.
Flowering Tobacco, also referred to as Night-scented Tobacco, was introduced into garden cultivation in England in 1829.This self-seeding annual bears sweet-scented, white flowers in summer and fall, which open only in the evening or during the cooler parts of the day. The fragrant flowers attract hummingbirds, and moths which pollinate at night.

Native Distribution: South America

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date at 70 degrees F. Transplant to 6-packs or small pots once they have several true leaves, then harden off and plant outdoors after the last frost. Approximately 300 seeds per packet.
