| Do you mean for human consumption? I know that deer stay away from Nicotiana. The bees sure like the Nicotiana I had. He who plants a garden plants happiness. |

| The smell of the plants seems to keep the deer away. I had a long planting along the property border and they stayed away from it. I handled my Nicotiana plants quite a bit and never had a problem. He who plants a garden plants happiness. |

Good to know I've been looking at the other varieties, more specifically the Saratoga Red & now I see the resemblance.. guess I'll have to wait & see  |

| I've been growing it for years, both that super big one and the smaller varieties, love them. Keep us posted as it grows and it may be something totally different.  My gardening Blog! Hand sewn wares, new & vintage fabrics in my Etsy store. Summer Song Cottage Instagram Sewing posts |
