Jasmine tobacco "Multicolor" (flowering tobacco)
New
Flowering tobacco "Ornamentale multicolor" - Nicotiana alata.
During flowering, this plant will bring an exquisite and romantic atmosphere to your garden, allowing you to enjoy the charm of its fragrance in the evening and nighttime hours.
The plant is upright and branched. The flowers are large, funnel-shaped, star-like, 5–6 cm in diameter. Plant height 60–70 cm.
The plant is rather large: usually planted as an accent, surrounded by lower plants. Leaves are lanceolate or elongated. The flowers are funnel-shaped with a tube up to 8 cm long, collected in a loose, paniculate inflorescence. Blooms from June to September. Light-loving and cold-resistant.
Seeds are small; sow them in March on the surface of the soil without covering, and cover with film or glass. Seedlings appear in 10–12 days.
Two pricking-out steps are carried out. Transplant to the open balcony after the end of spring frosts, keeping 20–30 cm between plants. Remove wilted flowers in time.
Prefers open sunny areas with moderately fertile and moist soils. Used in group plantings, borders, and containers. Lasts several days in cut form.
An “aroma garden” can also be created on the balcony by planting fragrant tobacco. At night, its delightful scent will fill the rooms and the surrounding space.

Winged (Fragrant) Tobacco - Nicotiana alata Link et Otto = Nicotiana affinis T. Moore.
Name: after Jean Nicot, the French ambassador to Portugal, who brought tobacco to France in the 16th century. Seeds are small, brown, retain germination for up to 8 years, with 6500–8500 seeds per gram.
A perennial herb grown as an annual. Stems are upright, branched, 60–70 cm high. Leaves are small, lanceolate or elongated. The whole plant is sticky, covered with glandular hairs. Flowers are white, cream, carmine, tubular, about 7.5 cm long, with a limb up to 5 cm in diameter, collected in a large, loose panicle. Open only at night. In cultivation since 1867.
Currently, there are varieties with various corolla colors that open not only at night but also during the day, as well as compact varieties and hybrids that do not require staking.
Location: prefers sunny places.
Soil: requires moderately fertile and moist soils. Likes moisture but is quite drought-resistant.
Care: easy to grow. However, remember that tobacco leaves have a large surface area and evaporate a lot of water daily, so all tobaccos are moisture-loving. For example, to grow 1 kg of dry makhorka, up to 500 liters of water are required. Tobaccos can withstand light frosts.
Propagation: in Estonia, all tobaccos are grown through seedlings; sow seeds in March–April on the soil surface without covering. Early spring and late autumn sowings also give good results. Seedlings appear in 10–12 days. The first pricking-out is done into boxes, the second — into 11 cm pots, 4 plants per pot.
Seedlings are fairly cold-tolerant, but transplant to open ground after spring frosts, keeping 20–30 cm between plants.
Eng.: Jasmine tobacco, flowering tobacco, Persian tobacco, shiras tobacco. Bot. syn.: Nicotiana affinis T. Moore.
* An interesting cultivation tip for fragrant tobacco, proven in practice: in autumn, dig up the plants, plant them in a pot, move to a bright window, cut off faded flower stalks, and water moderately.
Then, in January–February, the plants will bloom indoors — a pleasant sight when blizzards rage or cold drizzle reigns outside.
There are cases where breeders have maintained such plants for 10–12 years.
