Nicotiana/tobacco flower
« on: September 12, 2011, 13:34:46 »
Hi guys,
I know nicotiana self seeds but are the seeds true to the plant??  Ive been collecting some seeds but they are from the white flowers, not had any ripe pods from the pink & red as of yet.  Do i need to collect from the other colours or will i get all colours from the seed that ive collected from the white flowers?
Is loving how the twins are really getting into planting seeds this year!  two for the price of one!! :D http://i46.tinypic.com/zy7ww8.jpg[/img]

Oooo, they r nice.  I loved going out on decking after putting the kids to bed & just having the scent of these hit me as i came out the door. So if i want i a mix of colours next year i need to harvest seeds from all 3 of the flowers i have.

If you have any seeds for these going spare i would gladly give them a new home ;)
