The plants grows to about forty-five inches tall when topped, or can reach seven feet when allowed to develop its attractive pink flowers. Its leaves have slightly undulating leaf margins with puckered surfaces, are egg-shaped in outline, and attach to the plan stalks at the broad end. Typical leaves are eleven inches wide by twenty-four inches long.
Our seed was sent to us by David Pendergrass from Middle Tennessee, and originated from USDA accession number PI 552678.
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.
