Nicotiana rustica
Limonka Rustica originated in Eastern Europe and is often called Lemon Rustica. The plants reach about 30 inches in height on average reaching maturity and flowering in 35-40 days. Unlike most other Rustica strains, the leaves of Limonka ripen easily and turn yellow on the plants. This makes it very easy to cure and dry to a bright lemon yellow color. Other Rustica strains are often difficult to cure and dry a dull brown compared to this "Lemon Rustica" strain. The leaves average 7-9 inches in width and 8-10 inches long. The nicotine content of Limonka can range from 6-9% depending on growing conditions and fertilization. Each packet contains about 100 seeds.
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.
