I've read that Nicotiana sylvestris is a great self-seeder and I'm hoping and praying mine will do just that. Last year was the first year I grew it at our new home and it provided us with heavenly scent every night all summer and fall. About when might I expect to see nicotiana seedlings sprouting in central Ohio, zone 5/6? I don't want to yank them by accident if they do sprout. I can't find this variety of seed locally, so I'm also on the prowl for it...I want to be sure to have some in case they didn't self-seed. :o) Thanks in advance for your help!

Gardenwife: They should be poking their heads up around May. They are annuals, so they will germinate when the soil warms.

Two of the nicotiana came back from roots I didn't pull when I cleaned out the beds early this spring. AND...today when I was planting some annuals, I noticed there are many nicotiana seedlings coming up. Yea!!!

Sure thing, Louisa; I have a few of the daylight sensation mix left over and you're welcome too them right now. E-mail me if you'd like them. :o) Kimberley
