Growing Herzegovina Flor from seed

Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is pressed onto the surface and never buried. The figures below come from the variety description and are approximate guides, not results measured on a specific seed lot.

Space and site planning

A plant that can reach 1.5 m or more needs room for air to move around it. The spacing of about 60 cm from the card is a practical starting point, and a sunny bed with free-draining, fertile soil matches the variety description. Because the pink flowers appear in late summer, the plants are usually in the ground for most of the warm season before they bloom, so the early indoor start described above matters for the schedule.

Regular watering is part of the card guidance. A tall, broad-leaved plant loses a lot of water on warm days, so soil that is allowed to dry out completely between waterings tends to stress it.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for this variety yet. For that reason this page does not state a germination percentage, a viability period or a seed size. The origin of the variety and its exact days to flowering are also not documented in a way that can be checked here, so they are left out rather than guessed. The photographs in the gallery are archive images of the listing and have not yet been reviewed against the plant, so treat them as illustrations, not as a guarantee of how every plant will look.
