Tobacco Djebel 174 Seeds

Djebel 174 is a Nicotiana tabacum variety offered here as seed for growing the plant. The name is the only variety detail the store has on record so far. Nicotiana tabacum itself is a tall, leafy, warm-season annual that carries tubular flowers at the top of the stem, and the notes below describe the species in general rather than this particular variety.

Also known as: common tobacco, cultivated tobacco, tambaku (Hindi), tabaco (Spanish/Portuguese), tabac (French), Tabak (German), tütün (Turkish)

These are common names of the species. Djebel 174 is the variety name as the store lists it, and no other variety names are given for it here.

Growing Djebel 174 from seed

These points are general guidance for Nicotiana tabacum, not measurements from a specific seed lot. Use them as a starting point and adjust to your own conditions.

• Seed size: Nicotiana seed is very fine, close to dust. Mixing it with a little dry fine sand makes it easier to spread evenly.
• Sowing: scatter it on the surface of moist, fine, free-draining seed compost and press it in lightly. The seed needs light to germinate, so it is not buried.
• Warmth: the species is a warm-season plant, so keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and stop the surface from drying out while seedlings appear.
• Starting indoors: where spring is cool, seedlings are usually raised indoors first and moved outside after the last frost, once the soil has warmed.
• Site: full sun and fertile, well-drained soil suit the species. Leave room between plants, because the leaves grow large.

Young seedlings are small and slow at first. Prick them out into separate pots once they have a few true leaves, and harden them off gradually before planting them out.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for Djebel 174, so this page does not state a germination percentage, a viability period, a seed size or a recommended sowing date. Its height, leaf shape, flower colour, days to maturity and origin are also missing from the product card and are left out rather than guessed. The gallery has no photographs of this variety yet, so the text makes no claims about how the plants look.

FAQ

How do I sow Djebel 174 seeds?

Spread the fine seed over the surface of moist seed compost and press it down gently without covering it. Light helps Nicotiana seed germinate, so a layer of soil on top works against it. Temperature and timing figures for this variety are not recorded yet.

When should I sow Djebel 174?

The species is sensitive to frost, so sowing is planned around your last frost date. Many growers start seed indoors in late winter or early spring and plant out once the weather is settled and warm. The card gives no variety-specific sowing date, so local conditions decide.

How tall does Djebel 174 grow?

The product card does not give a height for this variety. As a species, Nicotiana tabacum forms a tall, upright plant with large leaves, but final size depends on light, soil, spacing and the length of the season, so no figure is promised here.
