Growing Affinis Nicotiana Ornamental Tobacco in the Flower Garden

Sow seeds very shallowly or on medium surface. Preferably, starting indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, space transplants 12-18 inches apart. Keep soil moist and provide full sun to partial shade.

Maintain by deadheading spent blooms to promote continued flowering through summer until frost; rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture encourage the best performance. Attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Harvesting of Affinis Nicotiana

Although typically grown for ornamental display, cut flower stems can be enjoyed in arrangements; cut in the morning when blooms are fresh and place in water immediately to extend vase life.

About Affinis Nicotiana Flower Seeds

Affinis is a beautiful ornamental tobacco that grows about 4 feet tall with many branching flower stems and blooms profusely until frost arrives.

Its flowers come in lovely shades of pink, pale purple, red, cream, and occasionally blue—favorites of hummingbirds and pollinators.

Start indoors or sow directly; seeds are tiny and require light to germinate; germination usually occurs within 7-14 days at 70-75 F.

It is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety prized for garden color rather than tobacco production.
