SKU: 10006031KY 15 is a high yielding, white stemmed Kentucky Burley tobacco variety with resistance to several common diseases. Highly resistant to tobacco mosaic virus, wildfire, and black root rot. It also has medium to high resistance to Fusarium wilt and tolerance to TEV.
The plant grows in a columnar shape and reaches 5 to 6 feet tall at the flower head. It produces almost no suckers. Each plant carries about 25 large, closely spaced leaves that measure 12 to 14 inches wide and 24 to 28 inches long. As the leaves ripen, they turn yellow and curl down around the edges. KY 15 matures in 60 to 65 days.
KY 15 cures well whether primed or stalk hung, and the leaves dry to a light orange brown. Our seed was originally obtained from the USDA, accession number PI 551279.

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.
