Germination
Sow indoors. Sow thinly into moist well-drained seed compost, cover with a fine layer of vermiculite. Keep moist. Propagate 18-22°C. Do not exclude light. Germination takes 10-20 days. Transplant seedlings large enough to handle to 8cm pots. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed with 50cm spacing.
Growing
Easy to grow once planted out. Water regularly but do not over water, it prefers a drier situation than other Nicotiana.
Cultivation
Cut flowers regularly to encourage growth and to prolong flowering window. Deadhead if you do not want it to self-seed.
