Description Nicotiana Sensation Mix is a gorgeous old-fashioned flowering tobacco mix producing masses of elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers in a romantic combination of pink, lavender, red and white. The different colours blooming together create a dreamy cottage-garden effect, with delicate flowers floating above lush green foliage. This is a wonderful choice for gardeners looking for a flower that brings together colour, fragrance and pollinator appeal in one planting. One of Nicotiana’s most treasured characteristics is its beautiful fragrance. Many Nicotiana flowers become particularly fragrant later in the day and into the evening, releasing a sweet scent throughout the garden. Plant Sensation Mix near patios, decks, pathways, entrances and outdoor seating areas where its fragrance can be enjoyed on warm summer evenings. Its tubular flowers are also attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, moths and other beneficial pollinators. The mixture of flower colours makes a beautiful addition to pollinator gardens while providing nectar throughout its long flowering season. Nicotiana Sensation Mix works beautifully planted in groups where the different colours can intermingle. It is equally at home in cottage gardens, flower borders, pollinator gardens, cutting gardens and large containers. Growing Nicotiana Sensation Mix From Seed Nicotiana seeds are extremely small, so take care when sowing. For an earlier start, sow seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost. Fill trays or pots with a fine, moist seed-starting mix. Sprinkle the seeds over the surface and gently press them into the soil. Do not bury the seeds deeply. Nicotiana seeds benefit from light during germination and should be surface sown or only very lightly covered. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but never soggy. A gentle misting bottle can be helpful when watering newly sown seeds without disturbing them. Once seedlings have developed and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual containers if needed. Before planting outdoors, gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor temperatures and sunlight. Plant outside once the danger of frost has passed. Regular watering will encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. Removing faded flowers can also encourage plants to continue blooming throughout the season.
