Nicotiana tabacum.

Annual. Open-pollinated.

Tobacco is a great natural insecticide. 

Smoking tobacco.

A well known smooth flavoured tobacco known for its hardiness. This heirloom produces a lot of big leaves, and is a must for making cigarettes. A classic variety. 

100 seeds per pack. 

Days to maturity: 100-130 

Seed starting:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your region. The seeds are tiny! Scatter them on top of a compacted moist soil, and water them carefully (I like to mist them heavily with a spray bottle).  The seed require light to germinate so don’t cover them up :).  This is a sun plant - loves the sun and warmth. Germination takes about 1 to 2 weeks. 

Transplant outside in a sunny spot once all danger of frost has passed.
