Bronze Queen Nicotiana Seed

Item #HSC-NIC-001-PKT

An unusual chocolate-colored nicotiana.

Bronze Queen has chocolate-purple bells swaying on bright green stems; the long stems add movement to arrangements.

Cut back regularly, plants flower for most of the season. Blooms are delicate with a short vase life (5–7 days), so they suit casual bouquets, design work and home cutting gardens. Pollinators and hummingbirds love them. Also called flowering tobacco.

Flowers about 70–80 days from sowing, on plants 24–36" tall. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 7–14 days at 22–26°C (72–78°F).

Starting indoors

Recommended. Sow in 72-cell trays 5–6 weeks ahead of transplanting, pressing the seed in or covering it very lightly, as light helps. Pinch the center stem of young plants to encourage branching. Harden off and plant out once the last frost has passed.

Growth

Seed comes up readily and plants flower soon after planting out, giving several cuts over the season.

Plant spacing

12–18".

Soil

Fertile, free-draining soil.

Light

Full sun or part shade.

Vase life

5–7 days.

Harvest

Cut when about half the flowers on a stem are open. Stems strip easily but leave a sticky film on hands and tools.

Uses

Cut flowers, cottage gardens, beds and borders.

Caution

All parts contain nicotine; wear gloves and keep away from children and pets.

Hardiness

Annual.

Packet
