I can't believe I've just discovered this forum. How cool!!
My most favourite plant for scent, has to be the Nicotiana. On a mild night you can smell them across the road, their scent wafts in every window in the house. It is intoxicating!!
Hello everybody!!
Welcome! I have only just started on this forum. Those nicotiana are on my want list for seeds this fall!
Welcome! Oh, I looooove Nicotianas too! I have the green kind and the heirloom white kind. Amazing fragrance at night!

I've been thinking about trying Nicotianas on my deck because I wanted a nice fragrance at night. All your comments just make me want to try them even more. The downside is my DH likes to sit on the deck at night and smoke a cigar. I'm going to end up with dueling fragrances/odors.
LOL! You never know, nicotianas are also called "tobacco plants" !
Well, as long as they don't smell like stale cigars, I'm good ;-)
LOL ya'll are too funny!! Welcome over "here" 3G's!!
Yes, everyone has heard me rave on and on about the scent of these. I've only had the fragrant cloud - it has an amazing night scent though. Anyone in need of seeds check back with me in about a month. I have 3 plants - from my ones last year that reseeded and will have plenty of seeds. I'm also growing a couple other varieties - will report in on their fragrance once I have blooms...
How are your seedlings doing? My fragrant clouds are up and coming! i can't wait!
Got some babies...sadly first bunch got too hot....so starting again...ugh!!
I know what you mean...I sowed them all in peat pots and then trnasferred to the grownd, I lost some, and some are coming up!
That's why ya do a bunch....they get so big if you only have 2 make it...it's still a good thing!!!
