Nicotiana tabacum
Tofta is a dark tobacco from Sweden that matures and ripens very early. The plant grow to 4 1/2 feet in height and flowers in 40-45 days. The plant produces 10-12 leaves that are ripe and harvestable in 55-60 days. The leaf averages 10-12 inches in width and 20-24 inches in length. Tofta is an excellent choice for growers with short growing seasons. 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.
