SKU: 10006451Choose a variant:
KT 200 LC is a late maturing hybrid developed through the joint breeding work of the University of Tennessee and the University of Kentucky. It has a semi-erect growth habit and has a high yield potential when managed with proper timing. Because it matures late, it should be topped early, then left to stand for about five weeks to support good curing.
This variety carries high resistance to both races of black shank as well as black root rot. It is also resistant to tobacco mosaic virus, wildfire, and the virus complex.

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.
