Classified as a "flue-cured" type tobacco, 'Pinkney Arthur' is an old North Carolina variety dating back to at least the early 1900s, probably much prior. It was historically used for various pipe and cigarette blends. The plants grows to about fifty-five inches tall when topped, and seven feet when allowed to flower.
Its leaves have slightly undulating margins, puckered surfaces, are much longer than wide, with the widest point below the middle. Typical leaves are eleven inches wide by twenty-six inches long.
Our seed originated from USDA accession number PI 552329 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.
