Cut Flower Nicotiana Bronze Queen Seedling Pack

Nicotiana langsdorffii

Cut Flower Nicotiana Bronze Queen seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Also known as Flowering Tobacco, Nicotiana Bronze Queen is a tender perennial that produces tall slender stems with lovely chocolate star-like flowers. As a tender perennial, it is often grown as an annual in colder climates. We have found these seedlings will tolerate a light frost, however they will not survive a hard freeze, so if you are in a cold region we reccommend potting these seedlings up and growing in a sheltered spot until early Spring. 

Bronze Queen will tolerate growing in part shade, and is cut and come again, so will continue to flower all season long. The stems are rather sticky, and are best harvested either in the cool of the morning or evening. Loved by pollinators!

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We wrap our seedlings bareroot in newspaper to maintain moisture and pack them with utmost care. We recommend if you're not ready to plant them immediately that you do pot them up until it's time for them to go in the garden, and be sure to give them a good water on arrival. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool outer that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
