| This is the Nicotiana gardeners have dreamed about! The big blooms in 7 hot colors begin appearing all over these bushy, well-branched plants just 90 days from sowing, and they continue all summer long with vigor and color unequalled by any other Flowering Tobacco we've ever grown! The trumpet-shaped flowers are 2 inches long, with a long, slender base opening up suddenly into a star shape at the end -- very dramatic! They arise in shades of bright pink (this color won an AAS in 2201!), burgundy, white, red, lime, appleblossom, and even a lime-purple bicolor. And the blooms keep coming for months! Avalon is a many-branched, floriferous plant that remains a compact 8 inches tall, 8 to 12 inches wide even in summer heat. This is a great size for baskets, windowboxes, and planters of all types, as well as for the bed and border. Versatile and virtually maintenance-free, Avalon is a standout you must grow to believe! A great choice for humid areas, this Flowering Tobacco is very easy to grow in full sun to partial shade. It may be direct-sown or started indoors for even earlier blooms. Exceptionally disease-tolerant, it is a fine choice for tropical climates where many flowers collapse in the extreme heat and humidity of summer. Although an annual, it may self-sow, repeating its glory for years in the garden! Pkt is 50 seeds. |
