Reviewed 1st August 2019 by Kate These are amazing. They have been floweing for quite some time and add a little bit if a different texture to a vase arrangement. Love the deep colour. |

personally I wouldn't want this plant again, it doesn't perform as well as the lime one. |
Reviewed 21st November 2018 by Jennifer loved nicotiana hybrid they looked magnificent and are still flowering now in november |

Reviewed 12th October 2018 by Rosalind At first I was disconcerted that they were paler than the illustration seemed to show. However in a year when the dahlias nearby did poorly I was really pleased with the performance of the nicotiana and I liked the colour. |
Reviewed 3rd October 2018 by Mary Superb colour and responded well to cutting back after the first flowering and is still flowering now |
Reviewed 3rd October 2018 by Diane Not so keen on this colour and will buy more of the 'Lime Green' in future |
Reviewed 19th September 2018 by Peter Overlooked final size,so bigger pot next year,flowers one of my favorite colours. Complimented Nicotiana Lime Green to make a interesting and attractive combination |
Reviewed 19th September 2018 by Daphne These seedlings weren't very robust, rather frail and pale I'm afraid , so they had become dislodged and the leaves damaged in the (usually good) packaging during delivery. They didn't survive the following weeks but the weather wasn't great for my own seedlings this year either so it's difficult to make a true assessment on this occasion. Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:"Thank you for leaving your review. We are very sorry to hear that your nicotiana arrived in a poor condition and have refunded you for them." Posted 7th November 2018 |
Reviewed 14th September 2018 by Hilary Lovely colour, but plants are not nearly so strong as whisper mixed, so tend to disappear in border. |
Reviewed 13th September 2018 by Peter Good quality , good service. |
Reviewed 13th September 2018 by Diana The first delivery of plants were very damaged, but customer services sent out another lot which were much better. They turned into gorgeous plants, flowering all summer long. |
Reviewed 2nd September 2018 by Molly Loved the colour. The plants struggled a bit due to the dry hot conditions. |
Reviewed 29th August 2018 by Adrian They were ok but a little dull |

Baby bella nicotiana
Reviewed 3rd July 2018 by Deb Patrick Tried these this year, good germination, plants now flowering nicely. Good for mixed planting in pots, my only criticism is the colour; mine are all a dull pale plum colour, not as portrayed in the packet. |
