'Greenwood', also known as 'Little Wood', is a flue-cured type of tobacco that has been historically used for chew, snuff and cigarette blending tobacco. It primarily grows as a single stalk plant, that is uniform and erect. Our seed originates from the USDA Nicotiana Collection as accession number PI 552646.
Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have many uses apart from consumption. Tobacco seeds are not classified as tobacco products. We promote the cultivation of tobacco plants, but we do not promote the use of tobacco products.
Tobacco seeds are tiny and look like dust, but each one has the potential to quickly grow into a huge tobacco plant. They need light to germinate. Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of a moist and sterile seed starting mix. Do not cover the seeds. They also must never be allowed to dry out, so they are frequently (but gently) watered using a mist from a spray bottle. While waiting for germination, it can help to cover them with some kind of plastic sheeting to help hold moisture.
Once tiny seedlings emerge, you can pick them out one by one and move them into individual cells. Very lightly fertilize and never allow the potting soil to dry out. Within 6 weeks it'll be ready to plant in the garden. Wait until all risk of frost is over before planting outdoors.

★★★★★ Beautiful and easy to grow

You wouldn't think that a tobacco would be a good candidate for container gardening, but mot only is Greenwood tobacco easy to germinate and grow, but it's beautiful in a container. I've got three of them growing in a large planter on the patio, and they are magnificent! People keep asking me what those gorgeous pink flowering plants are, and they are pleasantly surprised when I tell them it's tobacco. :)
