Usually Nicotiana is selected for either scent or blooms, but Perfume Hybrid Mix was chosen for BOTH! What a great idea -- summer-long blooms in 5 bright colors on neat little plants just 20 inches tall and 12 inches wide!
If your summers are hot and humid, Flowering Tobacco is the annual you MUST grow. It thrives on the very same weather that makes others flop and give up the ghost! And the scent is sweet without being cloying, evocative of old-fashioned cottage gardens. You will love it!
These blooms are 2 inches long, shaped like magnificently long trumpets, and very, very abundant. The colors include blue, lilac, lime, red, and white, adding some unusual hues to the usual palette of summer annuals! And unlike some Flowering Tobaccos, these blooms face upward, so you can enjoy their full splendor in planters, along the front of the border, edging the walkway, or dotted around the patio garden! They love sun, but can tolerate partial shade too. Could any plant be more accommodating?
Start these seeds indoors in late winter and set them out when the warm spring temperatures arrive, spacing plants a foot or so apart. They will bloom reliably all summer, not resting until the cold weather sets in. And their fragrance will fill the garden, generously lending its sweetness to nearby unscented annuals from Zinnia to Cosmos! Pkt is 50 seeds.
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
