Nicotiana sylvestris
Very easy to grow and brilliant for cutting - not only for their flowers but for the feathery foliage and unusual seed heads that can be dried and used in arrangements.

Habit: Upright
Early/Late Flowering:
Outdoor growing instructions In a prepared seed bed in final flowering position. Sow thinly in rows 20cm apart and cover with a fine layer of soil. Firm gently and keep moist. Germination takes 14-28 days. Make 2-3 sowings for a longer flowering season. When large enough thin to 15cm apart. Keep moist and weed free. Flowers May to September.
