Nicotiana langsdorfii 'Bronze Queen'
Langsdorff's tobacco plant
Langsdorff Tobacco plants have bell-shaped flowers on tall green stems. Great annual for borders and the cutting garden. As with all other Nicotiana, they release their scent in the evening, and are pollinated by moths. This variety has wonderful chocolate-bronze flowers.

Flowering
Sowing & growing
Sow indoors in moist seed compost from March-April. Only cover seeds with a dusting of compost as germination requires light. Propagate at 18-22 C. Pot up the plants when large enough to handle, and grow on in cool conditions until the risk of frost has passed. Acclimatise and plant out spacing them 30 cm apart.
Aftercare
Cut flowers and deadhead regularly to prolong the flowering period.
