'Affinis' is an example of a beautiful ornamental tobacco. The plants reach about four feet in height and its blossoms appear as early as three weeks after transplanting.

Its flowers open in the late afternoons and display shades of pinks, pale purple, red, cream, and occasionally blue. If you keep the plants dead-headed, they will continue to bloom throughout the summer until frost eventually kills the plants. A very beautiful addition to any garden flowerbed.

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.

★★★★★ Ornamental Tobacco
By Susan Collier (Puyallup, WA) on July 3, 2026

I am 10 miles from the Puget Sound and this plant just started growing in my little apartment dirt beside my building. It is amazing, smells wonderful, is 5 feet tall and flowers all year long. I haven't had to do anything but dead head it and water it occasionally. It's at least 3 feet around full blooming and smells spectacular. I don't know where it came from but I plan on planting a lot more. This is year three and it was still growing strong. Unfortunately my new neighbor is a little touched and has decided she no longer wanted it on her side of the building for whatever reason. So she pulled it out by the root and left it on my table outside to be relocated on my side of the building. Even though it belongs to neither of us, I was the one caring for it and so was she for a while. So I'm hoping it will tolerate being replanted on my less sunny side of the building.
