Virginia tobacco

Growing from seed

Start Virginia tobacco indoors about 6 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 45 cm apart. It is frost-tender, so don't plant out early. Expect to harvest in roughly 90 days.

Keep track of the seeds you own.
