Organic Virginia Tobacco
80 days to flower | Nicotiana tabacum
HEIRLOOM Impressively beautiful and easy to grow, tobacco attracts hummingbirds, butterflies & countless other beneficial pollinators! Her dramatic six-foot stalks lift dozens of coral-rose flowers with sweet jasmine scent blooming from the height of summer to early autumn. A stunning cut flower, tobacco lasts one week in a vase and often longer.
At Fruition, we sow tobacco indoors in soil blocks six weeks before final frost, transplanting out after final frost.
