'Long Penn Binder' is a cigar filler-type tobacco. The plants grow to about forty inches tall when topped and up to six feet or more when allowed to develop its pale pink flowers. Its leaves grow to about twelve inches wide by twenty-six inches long, are egg-shaped in outline and attached at the broad end, and have a slightly puckered leaf surface.
It was donated to the USDA's tobacco collection by the North Carolina State University Crop Science Department, Oxford, North Carolina in 1991. Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552692 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.
