Starlight Dancer Nicotiana Seed

Item #HSC-NIC-002-PKT

Nodding ivory stars on tall stems.

Starlight Dancer carries star-shaped bells, lime and cream on the outer throat, opening to 1" ivory flowers on tall, sturdy stems. It grows easily from seed and flowers soon after planting out.

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.

12–18".

Soil

Fertile, free-draining soil.
