Nicotiana alata

'Jasmine', also called "Winged Tobacco," is a compact, fast growing variety that is primarily grown as an ornamental although it is reportedly used in Iranian smoking blends. It starts blooming as early as three weeks after transplanting into the garden.
The plants reach two to four feet in height and produce cascades of beautiful, sweet smelling, bright white flowers that last all summer long if you keep them dead-headed. Closing during the heat of the day, the flowers reopen in the late afternoon to fill the evening air with its amazing fragrance. It is also very attractive to Hummingbirds.
Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have many uses apart from consumption. Tobacco seeds are not classified as tobacco products. We promote the cultivation of tobacco plants, but we do not promote the use of tobacco products.
Tobacco seeds are tiny and look like dust, but each one has the potential to quickly grow into a huge tobacco plant. They need light to germinate. Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of a moist and sterile seed starting mix. Do not cover the seeds. They also must never be allowed to dry out, so they are frequently (but gently) watered using a mist from a spray bottle. While waiting for germination, it can help to cover them with some kind of plastic sheeting to help hold moisture.
Once tiny seedlings emerge, you can pick them out one by one and move them into individual cells. Very lightly fertilize and never allow the potting soil to dry out. Within 6 weeks it'll be ready to plant in the garden. Wait until all risk of frost is over before planting outdoors.
