Super productive variety
Easy to grow
A brilliant F1 variety, with pink flowers that change to white, with excellent disease resistance
Nicotianas are a great family of very long-flowering Half-Hardy Annuals, many of them with lovely evening and night scent. They are moth pollinated, so will pour out the fragrance when the moths are around in the evening.
Please note: This is harmful if eaten.
