Nicotiana langsdorffii 'Bronze Queen'

Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25̊C or in May outdoors (in a warm, shady spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Sowing medium cocopeat with silver sand, sieve the top layer extra finely (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, press lightly and mist moist: it is a light germinator! Prick out in potting soil in time to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can go outside in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
