General Description: Fragrant, also known as Jasmine Tobacco, is a beautifully aromatic variety prized for its sweet, floral scent and ornamental appeal. Native to South America, this variety is commonly grown for its stunning, star-shaped flowers and pleasant fragrance, making it a favorite in gardens and landscapes.
Plant Characteristics: Jasmine Tobacco grows up to 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 meters) tall with large, bright green leaves and elegant, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of white, pink, or pale green. The flowers open in the evening, releasing a strong, jasmine-like fragrance. This plant thrives in warm climates and adds a decorative touch to any garden.
Taste and Benefits: While primarily grown for ornamental purposes, the leaves of Jasmine Tobacco are not typically used for smoking due to their high alkaloid content and bitter taste. Its main appeal lies in its beautiful, fragrant flowers, which attract pollinators like moths and butterflies.
Cultivation Recommendations: Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press the seeds onto the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 70–75°F (21–24°C) and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs within 10–14 days. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Jasmine Tobacco thrives in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. Regular watering encourages continuous flowering throughout the summer.
Uses and Benefits: Ideal for ornamental use, Jasmine Tobacco adds beauty and fragrance to gardens, patios, and borders. Its aromatic flowers are perfect for evening gardens, releasing their scent at dusk.
