I've never grown these before just had the odd self set rooting. These have been really enjoyable, for a start a free packet of seeds with a mag..:)
The flowers range from whites to pinks, right down to dark red with a lovely scent. The hoverflies love them!

All this and perfume too - money well spent. I'd forgotten all about these.

love it, too! Have you tried the tall version "Only the Lonely" ? it grows as tall as tobacco and carries a spray of sweet scented white flowers at it's top... 6 - 7 ft. tall. I grew it in my town garden, but it didn't do well when I tried it here.

Hello Lori..:) No not the very tall ones, wow that is a height! I've had the odd white one that has appeared over the years and such a wonderful scent. Does tobacco grow that tall?
