How big?



No fragrance to speak of with the Nicotiana tobaccum… Older Nicotiana alata (white ones) have a lovely fragrance but not as powerful as the Nicotiana sylvestris.

No reason why I can't select for blossom size and fragrance, too.
There were remarkable differences in blossom size and fragrance between the three cultivars you sent me.
One varietal had far larger leaves, fewer blossoms, and larger blossoms.
The smaller blossoms were much more fragrant, even if they were very muted.
All the good stuff is there, I just gotta select it out.
I just pray for the health and strength to get it done, because I sure enjoy it.
