Havana
Nicotiana tabacum L.
[ Approximately 100 seeds per packet ]
'Havana' is an attractive, productive plant that reaches about five feet tall and produces pretty, pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. Along with being an attractive ornamental annual, 'Havana' is a variety that is used for cigars and for chewing.
There are many numbered varieties of 'Havana' tobaccos. Our seed was part of the Mark Futterman Collection. He obtained it simply as 'Havana' from J. L. Hudson Seedsmen in 1994. Our seed was produced on Dunton Farms in Liberal, Oregon and does well in Northern climates.
Shipping took long but the seeds were amazing and they sprouted within 2 weeks.
Our Havana Tobacco is doing great. This is the 1st time we have tried growing tobacco. With no history of tobacco growing in our family, and only armed with what little knowledge we can glean from youtube, we feel we have succeeded. We bought 3 varieties; Havana, Golden Burley, & Black Mammoth. All varieties germinated very well. We started them inside in early March. We set them out in Mid May. They have struggled thru about 3 weeks without rain, only dew to sustain them, but now they are thriving. The funny thing is my husband said he only wanted about 30 plants, 10 each, but they all germinated, and he didn't have the heart not to plant them. Sooo, we have about 250 plant growing! We are very pleased with your seeds, and are planning to order more for our garden in the future!
