Organic Jasmine Scented Nicotiana

Organic Jasmine-Scented Nicotiana is a certified organic flowering start selected for luminous white, starry blooms and fragrance that becomes most noticeable from evening into night. Upright stems and pale flowers give the plant a strong presence in moon gardens, mixed borders, patio plantings, and cutting beds, especially where its scent can be enjoyed near an outdoor sitting area.

Nicotiana grows in full sun or part sun and favors a fertile, well-drained site that does not dry abruptly during active growth. It is generally treated as a warm-season annual where winters freeze, although plants may persist longer in very mild climates. Because seasonal performance depends on frost timing, use the USDA Growing Zone lookup together with local temperature information rather than treating the broad zone listing as a promise of perennial survival. No fruit-tree chill hours or pollinizer companion is required for this ornamental display.

Move the potted start outdoors after damaging cold has passed. Plant at the original soil line, water the root ball thoroughly, and maintain even—but not saturated—moisture during establishment. Space plants for air circulation and their upright mature habit. In containers, drainage holes and regular moisture checks are essential because small pots can change quickly during hot or windy weather. Avoid a fixed feeding schedule; assess growth and soil condition before applying fertilizer.

Remove faded flowers if you want a tidier planting and continued bloom, or allow selected seed capsules to mature where reseeding is acceptable. Cut stems as the first flowers begin opening, preferably when cool, and place them promptly in clean water. Check new growth and leaf undersides for aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars, or disease symptoms. Use our small-plant transplant guide for establishment steps, and consult the guide to flowers for beneficial-insect gardens when coordinating evening and daytime bloom resources.
