Nicotiana tabacum
Scantic is a a Connecticut Broadleaf cigar type wrapper tobacco developed with resistance to Fusarium wilt and reduced sensitivity to weather fleck. USDA studies showed over a 20% yield increase in comparison to the current wilt-resistant standard, regardless of whether soils were infested with the pathogen or not. Scantic grows to a height of 5 feet producing 10-12 large heavy weight leaves, The leaves range form 15-18 inches in width and 24-28 inches long. The low height of the plant makes it much more weather and wind resistant than many other wrapper strains. Our stock originated from the USDA Nicotiana Collection as accession number PI 6191633. 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.
