Sorry for not responding to any questions before now but I've been away from home on holiday which answers Rob's question :) Nicotiana mutablis has flourished in our absence thanks to the automatic watering device in our cold frame. Annette - no joy with self seeding but a plant did come through the winter once without any protection. Glad that you are enjoying the book.

Of course they would be loving this weather. I grew them once successfully and it was a summer like this. Maybe that's the key. I saw mutabilis growing in an open garden a few years ago and thought it was spectacular. Hope the lap top has exploded in the heat. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-18913455824752652482013-07-11T16:39:17.503+01:002013-07-11T16:39:17.503+01:00I've not grown nicotiana but always admire the...I've not grown nicotiana but always admire them in other people's gardens. This one is very lovely, Anna! Looks like it's probably good for the bees as well with those lovely open flowers!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-43957792758204967742013-07-09T16:21:50.706+01:002013-07-09T16:21:50.706+01:00How delightful!

I can now get them to germinate having learnt they dont like a lot of heat but them they take a while to get going and they are the one plant in my garden the slugs really go for. The delphiniums and hostas seem to escape but at the expense of the nicotiana. I may just give up on them after this yearHelen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-43117422550102570582013-07-08T10:37:00.897+01:002013-07-08T10:37:00.897+01:00They sound lovely.
