This tends to get mildew in my garden, so keep it well watered, or to be extra safe, consider a douse of Copper Mixture.
Nicotiana are a great family of very long-flowering half-hardy annuals, many of them with lovely evening and night scent. Nicotiana are moth-pollinated, so pour out the fragrance when the moths are around.
Please note: This is harmful if eaten.
