A very quick growing little cultivar of Nico. alata. Thrips may be a problem on most Tobaccos, but damage is not apparent on this type. Very fragrant, especially in the evenings and morning. A decent sized pot of them will perfume a small backyard. Pollenated my nightime insects, so plants will not cross-pollenate with colored varities that are pollenated by daytime insects, so seed will come true to name. Best if sown indoors 3-5 weeks before the last frost, they germinate fast and furious.

Survives all but hard freezes, even the flowers, and young plants may overwinter under a mulch.
