This plant is worth having just to watch the sphinx moths in the evening. (That is if the tomato growers let any of them survive to the moth stage....please?)

It is a great trap crop for all kinds of undesirables. They can get chewed at the bottom and never miss a beat. They flourish, self-seed, return every year, and cast their wonderful perfume around our garden in the evening. They rank up with sweet peas and roses for perfume.

I love this plant but I can't seem to find the nicotiana saratoga breed of it on the site, this is the closes I could get. I planted a beautiful light pink one and it has a beautiful sent at evening. I bought one in "antigue shades" but has no sent at all. It grows really thick and does well in zone 5.
