Default Full size Nictiana - any sightings in garden centres?

Hi,

looking for some full size Nicotiana instead in the short F1 hybrids which
have been around for the last few (many) years.

I can order online from Thompson&Morgan, but wondered if anyone had seen
these in any of the major chains?

TIA

Take a look at www.coffinails.com
Sells several varieties of full size Nicotiana Tabacum seeds at very
reasonable prices with full cultivation instructions and a growers'
forum on the site. You don't have to dry and cure the leaves if you
don't want to. They're an impressive plant, growing to 6 feet or more
with attractive pink or white flowers.
Might be a bit late to start from seed now, though.
