Hey, very impressive. ;D Do they smell nice? I'm on the lookout for a shorter variety, mine are about 4 foot and rather taking over their alloted space. Any ideas anyone? They must be scented.

Georgie, try Nicotiana Sanderae Perfume Mix. i'm growing them for the first time this year. I would say that they are about a foot tall and the colours are lovely and vibrant.

Thanks for the tip bbb - on the (ever-growing) list for next year. I don't think they're a traditional companion plant? But last so well, smell divine and look wonderful :D
