Nicandra is so easy to grow from seed and will churn out loads of lovely long stems. It is such a workhorse for late season foliage. This variety as gentle variegation- add the extra bit of depth to designs. I love waiting for hte seed pods to ripen and dry them for winter wreaths.
It makes a great companion plant- it's also know as 'Shoo Fly Plant' as it's an aphid deterrent. Just another reason to have this on your grow list!
Germination can take a while. Patience is key.
