N. affinis) is white, flushed on the reverse with a hint of beige-pink. If you save your own seed, you may eventually as I did end up with a color range including pinks. There are some hybrid mixes in colors, and ones that stay open in the daytime---'Daylight Sensation' for example; Chilterns, Moles, Kings etc will have that and many more. The Fragrant Path catalog is online now too (www.fragrantpathseeds.com) and Ed will I'm sure send seeds to the UK. He has lots of wonderful fragrant plant treasures, it's one of my favorite seed catalogs. Let us know what you come up with--and I'll think of this project when I'm sowing my petunias & nicotianas (and acacia and agastache and Madonna lilies and . . . ) Judith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
