| Anyone grow this one? According to your nose, is it true that it has a rich powerful fragrance in the evenings?

| Hiya...I've grown many varieties of Nicotiana and the fragrance is heavenly...they even suggest you plant them outside your bedroom window so that as you drift off to sleep you'll smell this wonderful fragrance :) Also, these flowers seem to glow at night which makes them an excellent "moon garden" selection. I haven't had a garden in a few years but seeing your question has inspired me to plant a few this year...they are so easy to grow and if I remember correctly they are nice reseeders too but not unruly. Good luck :) |

| I grow these every year! They come back from seed ... and they are awesome. Bushy plants so give them some room and I notice notice that they are crazy fragrant but they do glow at night and I get some interesting moths that feed from them at night. Like a nighttime hummingbird. I love them! I purchased mine from Flower Scent Gardens. |

| Wow...I had forgotten about the Hummingbird Moths that come to feed. They are quite exotic looking creatures and come up very close so you can get a good look at them. Some varieties of Nicotiana are not fragrant but I grew them anyway because of the color variations which were worthy of the precious garden space I had. :) Sandra |
