I planted these in my butterfly garden this spring, but forgot the name of them. It reaches about 4 feet. Blossoms open up at night and are really fragrant. Absolutely beautiful. I will be saving seeds from them this fall, but would really like to know the name. Thanks for any help!
Nicotiana- Flowering Tobacco.
In cen. Illinois, nicotiana often self seed.
Heres a pic of mine with a moth thrown in for your pleasure.
A jmoth morth...er, jmorth moth. Interesting.
I guess it'd be a jmorthmoth.
The photo is another view of the morthmoth.
can't tell from the pic if it is N. alata or sylvestris, both great for hummers. Alata more likely to self sow though
the former
the smell so good but the seeds are really eally small and abundant. probabbly will self sow
Yes, it self sows every year. The nicotiana and the 4 o clocks seem to intice the moths.
