Locally adapted, ecologically responsible heirloom seeds ♡ Outaouais, QC
Only the lonely tobacco
Only the lonely tobacco
Nicotiana sylvestris
This is an intoxicatingly mellifluous flower. It is also toxic and no part of this plant can be smoked. It is not a smoking tobacco.
Annual, Open-pollinated.
This is a South American heirloom prized for its intoxicating blooms. It is particularly heady in the early evening hours - I spend at least 20 minutes every evening taking the smell in. One of my favourite plants.
100 seeds per pack.
Days to maturity: 100-110
Seed starting:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your region. The seeds are tiny! Scatter them on top of a compacted moist soil, and water them carefully (I like to mist them heavily with a spray bottle). The seed require light to germinate so don’t cover them up :). This is a sun plant - loves the sun and warmth. Germination takes about 1 to 2 weeks.
Transplant outside in a sunny spot once all danger of frost has passed.
We live and garden on ancestral territory of Algonquin Anishnaabeg People, forever territory of wild fauna & flora, cultivated lands of Irish and French settlers, and now beloved home of the junco seeds family (humans, chickens, dogs, sheep and cats)
