Nicotiana tabacum L
[ Approximately 100 seeds per packet ]
A multipurpose, "Burley-type" that was historically used for plug tobacco, cigarette and pipe blending, as well as for blending material for cigar filler. The plants are attractive, upright, fairly compact, with beautiful white and pale pink flowers.
Our stock originated from the USDA Nicotiana Collection as accession number PI 552644 via David Pendergrass of the New Hope Seed Company.
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.

The Virginia Burley was the slowest to take off, or so it seems, but is now the largest and most abundant! It is about 2 feet tall as of July 1st and beginning to bolt. I have topped out the flowers on most and reserving on or two for seed. The weather started out hot at the beginning of the season and has stayed that way and I am wondering if the plants should not be taller than they are now and if they hadn't bolted too early, (as did my radishes!). Some of my tobacco, (I planted 3 varieties), is very short, looking stunted, and I surmise it is from the heat, and bolted 2 weeks before the Virginia Burley. The Burley has the great large leaves and looks like it will give and abundant quantity of useable tobacco. This is my first time growing tobacco, (indeed only my second garden!), and I am finding it very satisfactory watching it grow. Thanks to Victory Seed for all of the support and information regarding starting, planting and sustaining my crop.
