'Jamaica' is classified as a "flue-cured" type tobacco that was historically used for cigarette blending. The plants grows to about forty-four inches tall when topped and reaches about six feet tall when allowed to develop flower heads.
Its leaves have no surface puckering, are egg-shaped in outline, and attached to the plant stalks at the broad end. Typical leaves are eleven inches wide by twenty-three inches long.
Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552315 and was sent to us by David Pendergrass from Tennessee.
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.
