Negro (Spanish for "black") is a burley type tobacco with a very dark leaf after curing. Used for cigar wrappers, cigarette & cigar filler, snuff, and chew. This is an extremely versatile variety.
Tolerant of poor soils, & can thrive in a wide range of soil PH.
Full sun, to partial shade (leaves grown for wrappers can grow larger in partial shade, but will be less productive).
Requires bright light for germination.
Start seeds indoors directly on top of soil 8-10 weeks before last frost. Make sure they are in a well lit, very warm (68 degrees or higher) area (ie. greenhouse, seeding room, bright window, or under artificial light).
Plant starts in garden after last frost.
Tobacco likes it warm, so don't get in a hurry to set them out.
Tip: Tobacco makes for a beautiful landscape plant for beds. The flowers are absolutely amazing!
