Nicotiana tabacum 'Ohio Dutch'

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