Flowering Tobacco ‘Peach Screamer’
Nicotiana glutinosa
Description
This lovely rosy-peach variety has waxy, slightly cupped flowers and large, heart-shaped, gray-green leaves. Plants produce an abundance of towering, airy wands that look great in the border, and both pollinators and hummingbirds adore them. The foliage is quite sticky, so wear gloves when picking, but they add the loveliest touch to arrangements and are worth the extra effort.
Details
Height: 36 to 48 in
Site: suitable for some degree of shade
Days to maturity: 90 days
Plant spacing: 12 in
Pinch: not necessary
Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Sow seed indoors in trays 6 to 8 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Seed requires light to germinate, so do not cover. Bottom-water until seedlings emerge. In areas with hot summer weather, plant in partial shade.
