Virginia Gold Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
This tobacco has a particularly sweet taste and is commonly used for light cigarettes. The plant can reach 1.5 to 2 meters. It bears pretty, slender, trumpet-shaped flowers in pale pink, which attract pollinators. Flowering in August and September. Very popular variety in the United States.
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
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.
