Virginia Burley Tobacco Seeds: Heirloom Bulk Certified Organic USA Grown Non-GMO
Nicotiana tabacum is the most widely grown species of tobacco. While native to the Americas, this plant is a traveler.

Tobaccos are striking ornamental plants that can reach up to six feet in height. They produce abundant gorgeous, pink, trumpet-shaped flowers.

When done right, home cured tobacco has an entirely different essence than anything that can be found commercially. Seeds are certified organic.
