Nicotiana tabacum 'Connecticut Broadleaf'

Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25°C or in May outdoors (in a warm, shaded spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Use cocopeat with silver sand as a sowing medium, sieve the top layer extra finely (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, lightly press them down, and mist them: they are light germinators! Prick out in potting soil in good time to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can be moved outdoors in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
