Nicotiana tabacum 'Baiano'

Product number: 542503
Origin: South America
Latin: *Nicotiana tabacum*

Baiano is a Hungarian variety widely used in blends for cigars and pipes. The plants produce a lot of large, thick leaves. Typical is the columnar plant shape, growing 1.5 m tall, thus quite compact. Few to no diseases... The leaves are dark green, grow close together on the stem and are very upright, folding tightly against the stem in the evening. It has a very compact flower head with pink flowers. Mature plants surprisingly tolerate a night frost well.

Tobacco plants are diligent bloomers, in sun or shade, dry weather or rain!

Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25̊C or in May outdoors (in a warm, shady spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Sowing medium: cocopeat with silver sand, sieve the top layer extra finely (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, press lightly, and mist to moisten: it's a light germinator! Transplant in potting soil in time to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can be moved outdoors in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
