Austral Tobacco "Lime Jasmine"

Perennial, cultivated as an annual, unpretentious, cold-resistant. Beautiful flowering unpretentious garden plant, cultivated as an annual, up to 60 cm high. Retains decorative effect for 2-2.5 months (until frost). The plant is a straight branched shoot with bright green oval pointed leaves. Flowers up to 6 cm long and up to 4 cm in diameter, snow-white with wine-red stripes on the outside, emit a wonderful, strong aroma (but only in the evening, night or morning).
Fragrant tobacco will perfectly decorate any flower bed, enliven the border, and will look great in a container. Blooms from July to September. You can dig it up in the fall and plant it in a pot, put it in a bright place, remove flower stalks with faded flowers and water moderately. By January-February, your tobacco will bloom again.

Agricultural technology. It is cold-hardy, prefers sunny places, moderately fertile and moist soils, but is quite resistant to drought. The flowers close earlier and denser, the brighter the sunlight. Therefore, plants are planted in a fairly dense penumbra.
Sowing: in March-April in boxes, without embedding. Planting tobacco in open ground is carried out after the end of spring frosts. The distance between plants is 20-30 cm.
Care: watering, fertilizing.
