Russian Red Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
This tobacco is small (3 or 4 feet), with very dark green, round-shaped leaves. It reminds us of Cuban varieties. It bears pretty, slender, dark red flowers, making it an excellent variety for an ornamental plant.
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Needs light to germinate.
If you are planting tobacco for leaf harvest, remove the flowers. The leaves are picked when yellow or brown. If you want to collect seeds and leave food for pollinators, let the flowers bloom. You can also harvest the leaves, but there will be fewer of them.
