Description
Nicotiana alata Vedado Pink is an excellent plant for ornamenting sunny or semi-shaded areas of the garden. With a very natural appearance, this ornamental tobacco offers abundant and long-lasting flowering, in a lovely range of pink shades, with a nocturnal fragrance that charms both the gardener and night butterflies. Resistant to diseases, this variety is very easy to grow in a damp soil, rich in compost.
Nicotiana alata Vedado Rose Pink belongs to the Solanaceae family. Its ancestor is native to South America, with the species being widespread from southern Brazil, northern Argentina, to Paraguay and Uruguay. Not very hardy, -5°C (23°F), this perennial plant is grown as an annual for garden ornamentation. 'Vedado Pink' forms in one season a tuft composed of numerous branched and flowering stems reaching approximately 80 cm (32in) in height and spreading over 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) in width. The plant first forms a rosette of elongated, undulate basal leaves, measuring 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10in) in length, embracing (with two wings, hence its species name), sessile, and covered with glandular hairs that make them slightly sticky. Flowering begins in July-August and continues continuously until October, as long as there is no frost. The inflorescence is a racemose cyme, meaning branched in a loose cluster, bearing pendulous tubular flowers, trumpet-shaped, 5 to 6 cm (2in) long. The back of the corolla is covered with glandular hairs. The flowers change colour throughout the day, adopting a beautiful range of pink tones. Nicotiana alata is one of the most fragrant species in the genus. It emits honey-like, waxy, dry, warm, aromatic scents, which develop in the evening and at night. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous small seeds that can spontaneously reseed in light soil.
Rarely offered in catalogues, the 'Vedado Rose Pink' selection produces magnificent plants both in flowering pots and in slightly free-style beds, or in a cottage-style garden, or in a herb garden. They can be associated with Damask nigellas, whose feathery foliage contrasts well with their plump rosettes, with Buenos Aires verbenas, or with tall paniculate phlox. To fully enjoy their heady fragrance, they can be placed near a pathway but also on the terrace, in large pots.
Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
Nicotiana alata Vedado Rose Pink, like all annuals, should be planted in the ground as soon as the risk of frost has passed. You can grow the young plants in plug plants in individual pots, protected from the cold, in a greenhouse or a very bright room. Plant them in the sun, in rich and damp soil. Water generously at planting. In order for it to reach a respectable size, this ornamental tobacco should not lack water, during the first months following its planting, you will water it generously 1 to 3 times a week depending on the rainfall.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
