Bursa Tobacco
Nicotiana tabacum
Price: $3.99
SKU: 10006041Bursa is a Turkish tobacco variety and one of the largest and heaviest producing types in that group. Plants grow up to 8 feet tall and produce 30 to 34 harvestable leaves each. The leaves are dark green, spade shaped, and heavy, averaging 10 by 16 inches. Bursa blooms at 65 to 70 days. Because the plants grow tall and columnar, they may need staking in windy areas to keep them from tipping over.
Bursa has a spicy, sweet flavor and a fragrant, aromatic smoke. Its nicotine level is fairly high for a Turkish variety. The leaves can be air cured or sun cured, and Bursa is used for pipe tobacco and for blending in cigarettes.

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.
