    This is what I’ve got from growing Cherry Brandy last year. Do you have more than one plant?

    My white fragrant nicotiana came out all pink and not fragrant. All i got from t&m on complaining is refund of seed packet 🙄
    I grew a few different nicotiana including these same 'white fragrant cloud' from T&M I got no white and wonder now if the pink ones are the t&m . I've had the lime seeds from an online seller and some of those were crimson. As a side the fragrance is much better in the evening than the day.

    The fragrance of nicotiana is strong in the evening/night to attract the moths that pollinate them.

    @pitter-patter. I have 3, none of them look like yours.

    @Pete.8. I grow the Nicotiana to get the moths for the bats. They do snell lovely and just self seed everywhere.

  • @Pete.8 I think we talked about this on another thread, but the exact same happened to me with my dwarf cosmos from t&m. 

    Fortunately I also sowed some old seed from Mr F and those came out different colors.

    I've actually had a lot of trouble with t&m seeds this year, come to think of it.

    Yes I recall @strelitzia32
    I bought the seed in 2018, but only used it this year.
    I rarely use T&M these days as there are better and cheaper suppliers
    Glad you got some good results with the Mr.F seed

  • I bought seeds from Suttons. they were supposed to be james wong liquorice. 2 " tall now and definitely not Liquorice. The look more like nettles. Reading through some of the comments on here its really obvious that this is not an unusual thing. Accidents happen but they are not our fault. If they selling one thing then it should be as described shouldnt It? thats against the trade description act. if not then the manufacture should do what they can to put it right. I am still waiting for a reply from them 4 weeks ago when they did say in 7 days.
    I am not a complainer but if the manufacturer just shrugs it of as ( one of theose things ) then they should bew held accountable.
