Mr Fothergills Nicotiana Sensation Mixed Seeds (Nicotiana x sanderae) are a classic choice for gardeners seeking fragrance and structure in their planting schemes. This popular half hardy annual produces tall stems topped with clusters of elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers in a harmonious mix of white, pink and pale green tones. The flowers bloom freely throughout summer, creating a refined and eye-catching display.

One of the main attractions of Nicotiana Sensation is its subtle evening scent, which becomes more noticeable as temperatures cool, making it an excellent choice for planting near seating areas, patios or pathways.
