Start the seed indoors, 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Press the seed lightly onto the soil surface and do not bury it, because it needs light to germinate.

Transplanting and care

Move the seedlings outdoors only after the last frost has passed. Set the plants 2-3 feet apart in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil. Plants that reach 5-6 feet tall need that room, so the broad leaves can open without crowding their neighbours. The variety suits a warm, sunny climate, so give it the brightest, warmest spot you have. Water regularly and feed occasionally through the growing season, which supports steady growth until the pink flowers open.

About the name

The variety is listed under two spellings, Jubilejny 8 and Jubilee 8. Both refer to the same Nicotiana tabacum variety, so use either one when you label your seedlings, keep records or compare notes with other growers.
