The Nicotiana ‘Avalon’ Mix, from Syngenta, is a sophisticated bedding plant that offers a significant improvement over older, taller tobacco flower varieties. This F1 hybrid is engineered for garden performance, creating a compact and uniform plant habit that stays tidy throughout the season, typically reaching about 12 inches in height.
The key feature of the ‘Avalon’ series is its impressive display of upward-facing, star-shaped blooms. This mix provides a balanced blend of colors, including crisp white, soft pink, deep red, and a unique chartreuse lime green. Unlike some traditional Nicotiana that only open in the evening, these flowers remain open throughout the day, ensuring continuous color.
Nicotiana is a versatile plant that performs well in full sun or partial shade. It adds a lovely height variation to the middle of borders and works beautifully in mixed containers. While this hybrid variety is less intensely fragrant than older types, it provides reliable, long-lasting color and attracts pollinators like hummingbirds to the garden.
