Nicotiana sylvestris.
« on: August 14, 2007, 22:34:46 »
Hello,

I have several flowers on this at the mo. The packet said it would have a strong scent, but it doesnt, even in the evening.

Have I done something wrong?

Thanks

cj :)

The scent on only 'several flowers' will not be strong, wait until you have a few more. Then sit out on a warm evening and watch the humming bird moths, they love them.
