How can you grow flowering tobacco or nicotiana plants from seed?
Flowering tobacco is easy to grow. We start seeds in seed trays with a propagator a few weeks before the last frost. The propagator helps to keep the soil moist but not too wet. Because the seeds are so tiny we offer coated seeds. The coating is not harmful in any way, it is just a small layer around the seeds so seeds are a bit easier to handle. If you have a spare heating mat you can use it to speed up germination. Nicotiana likes to be a bit warmer to start germination. The seedlings are very tiny and grow very slowly.
