Tobacco Havana 307 Seeds

Tobacco Havana 307 is the catalogue name of a Nicotiana tabacum variety, offered here as seed for growing the plant. Nicotiana tabacum is a tall, broad-leaved annual in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The product card for this item is empty: it records no height, leaf description, flower colour or sowing notes. This page therefore sticks to what is known about the species and says plainly where variety details are missing.

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

About the plant

• Species: Nicotiana tabacum, grown from seed as an annual.
• Variety name: Tobacco Havana 307 is the name we list it under. We have no verified origin, breeder or history for the variety, so none is given here.
• Habit: plants of the species are usually upright, with a thick stem and large, soft, slightly sticky leaves. The card gives no height for this variety.
• Flowers: the species carries tubular flowers in branched clusters late in the season. The card gives no flower colour for this variety.
• Leaves: no leaf size, shape or colour is recorded, so this page makes no leaf comparison with other varieties.
• Seed data: no seed specification is saved yet, so we do not quote germination percentage, viability period or seed weight.
• Photographs: the listing has no images yet, so nothing here describes how the plants look.

The common names above belong to the species, not to this variety. If you already grow another Nicotiana tabacum variety, expect the same general habit and the same sowing method, but not necessarily the same height or leaf shape.

Growing Tobacco Havana 307 from seed

• Light: Nicotiana seed is very fine, almost dust-like, and needs light to germinate. Sow it on the surface of moist, well-drained seed mix and do not cover it.
• Moisture: keep the surface evenly moist. Water gently from below or with a fine mist, because a heavy stream can wash such small seed into clumps or bury it.
• Warmth: the species germinates in warm conditions. A seed tray or small pots indoors give you control over both moisture and temperature.
• Planting out: the plants are frost tender, so seedlings should not go outside until the last frost has passed. Move them to a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil once they are large enough to handle.
• Spacing: the card gives no figure. Leave generous room between plants so air can move through the foliage, and adjust once you see how large your own plants become.
• Timings: no sowing date, germination time or days to maturity are recorded for this variety, and we do not estimate them.

A tray surface dries out quickly, and a dried surface is the usual reason sown seed fails to appear. A clear lid or a sheet of glass over the tray helps hold humidity, as long as you lift it a little each day for fresh air.

Keep a note of your sowing and transplanting dates. Those records give you real timings for your own climate in the next season.

FAQ

What conditions do the seeds need to germinate?

Light and steady moisture. Press the seed onto the surface of moist, well-drained seed mix and leave it uncovered.

When should I sow Tobacco Havana 307?

The card gives no sowing date. Because the plants are frost tender, sow indoors ahead of your last frost and plant the seedlings out after the frost risk has passed.

How tall does Tobacco Havana 307 grow?

The card gives no height. The species is a tall annual, so plan space for a sizeable plant until you have measured your own. Plant size, leaf size and flowering vary with climate, soil and season.
