Jasmine Tobacco Seeds

Jasmine Tobacco has bright white trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in the evening and scent your garden with the most intoxicating smell!! I had a woman who would walk by my garden at night and just stand there. She let me know that she came to just stand there and be immersed in the wonderful scent, which is very strong at dusk and can be detected from over 30 feet away and would be great planted near your porch, under the bathroom window, or anywhere you want to enjoy the sweet perfume. It’s amazing to me that we gardened for over 10 years before we first experienced this flower. It should be in every garden. Suitable for containers. Flowers are much larger than most tobacco flowers. Sticky resin and nighttime blooming make this not a good candidate for cutting or bouquets. Annual that self-seeds easily.

Jasmine Tobacco, also known as Nicotiana alata, is a species of tobacco primarily grown as an ornamental plant. This herbaceous perennial or annual is native to South America and is part of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. It’s appreciated for its showy, fragrant tubular flowers which resemble Petunias or Calibrachoa in appearance, but are distinct in their smaller size, sharply pointed petals, and much larger leaves. Jasmine Tobacco is taller than its floral look-alikes, reaching heights of 3 to 5 feet. Its flowers are most notable for opening only at night, exuding an intoxicating fragrance that attracts nighttime pollinators like moths, making it an excellent addition to moonlit gardens. It can be used in various garden settings, such as rock gardens, borders, or containers. The true species of this plant can be challenging to find in nurseries, as many sold are compact hybrids.
