Or check online. The rules are simple but absolutely MUST be followed for good germination, especially heat and humidity requirements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVariety is a Virginia Gold Heirloom tobacco (N. tabacum), but I like to joke they're \"Great Lakes Gold\", since I grew them right here in the beautiful Great Lakes State!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifically, these fresh seeds were harvested from mature tobacco plants in southeast Michigan (USDA Zone 6a). I have no idea if they are more hardy to cold temperatures but they certainly coped with them here ;)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn all seriousness, the plants were sown, fed (with organic compost), watered, and harvested by hand, including the seed which was painstakingly beat out of the seed pods with a mallet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: The seeds are EXTREMELY small, some of the smallest of any crop. Your quantity will appear small, but rest assured I have actually put far more than the 2,000 advertised in the title. For ballpark numbers, 1 gram tobacco seeds = 1 teaspoon = 10,000 seeds. Yes, you're reading that right. I put about 1\/4 teaspoon (2,500 seeds) so you don't think I'm cheating you.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jfstradetools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50013780607224,"sku":"MZNEYIG","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/0995\/6344\/files\/Output_68.jpg?v=1784341684","url":"https:\/\/jfstradetools.com\/products\/2000-quotgreat-lakes-goldquot-tobacco-seeds-michigan-grown-heirloom-organic-and-nongmo","provider":"Jfstradetools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
