Starting Indoors

Sow approximately 6–8 weeks before your expected last frost in clean containers filled with seed-starting mix. Press the small seeds onto the surface without covering them.

Water gently to avoid displacing the seeds and maintain light, even moisture without saturating the mix. Follow any lot-specific germination directions supplied with the seed. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting after frost danger has passed.

Direct Sowing

Seeds can also be sown outdoors after frost danger has passed. Prepare a fine, weed-free seedbed, press seeds onto the surface, and keep the area gently moist during establishment. Thin seedlings to allow room for mature plants rather than leaving them crowded.

Garden Care

Provide regular water and good soil, adjusting watering to rainfall and drainage. If feeding is needed, use a balanced fertilizer according to its label directions during the growing season.

Remove faded flowers and trim lightly as needed to keep plants tidy and support continued flowering. Plants may drop seed where conditions allow; remove spent flowers before seed matures if you want to limit self-sowing. Bloom timing varies, so a fixed time from sowing to flowering is not guaranteed.

Growing in Containers

Choose a roomy, stable container with drainage holes for plants that can reach approximately 3 feet tall. Use a well-draining potting mix and allow adequate space between plants for growth and airflow.

Place in a sunny position and check moisture regularly, particularly in warm or windy weather. Water as needed and let excess water drain away. Avoid crowding plants or leaving the pot standing in water.

Available Seed Packs

Choose 200 seeds, 1,000 seeds, or 7 grams. The 7-gram pack is sold by weight; no unverified seed count is assigned to it. All packs contain the mixed-color selection, with no separate flower-color option. This listing is for planting seeds, not live plants.

Ornamental Use and Safety

Nicotiana is toxic if eaten. Keep seeds and plants away from children and pets. This flowering tobacco is sold for ornamental planting, not for food, smoking, or medicinal use.
