About this variety
Adjarian is a Nicotiana tabacum variety offered here as seed for growing the plant. The product card describes an upright, sturdy plant about 4 to 5 feet (roughly 1.2 to 1.5 m) tall with narrow, elongated leaves. A leaf can reach about 20 inches (roughly 50 cm) in length and 4 inches (roughly 10 cm) in width, and the leaves are light green while the plant is growing. The card links the variety name to the Adjara region of Georgia; we have no further record of its history. These figures are an approximate guide from the variety description, not a measured lot result, and real plants vary with light, soil and spacing.
Also known as: common tobacco, cultivated tobacco, tambaku (Hindi), tabaco (Spanish/Portuguese), tabac (French), Tabak (German), tütün (Turkish)

Growing Adjarian from seed
Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is sown on the surface and not buried. The steps below follow the variety description.
- Sowing: press the seeds lightly onto the surface of the soil and leave them uncovered, so that light reaches them.
- Timing: start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost.
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding organic matter supports growth.
- Light and water: full sun, and steady watering that keeps the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Space: the plant reaches 4 to 5 feet and carries leaves up to 20 inches long, so give each seedling plenty of room when it moves outdoors.
Because the seed is so small, the soil surface can dry out quickly. Water gently, from below or with a fine mist, so the seeds stay in place and are not washed into the soil.
What is not yet recorded
No seed specifications have been saved for this variety yet. For that reason this page does not state a germination time, a soil temperature, a viability period or a germination percentage. The exact plant spacing and the full history of the variety are also not documented in a form that can be checked, so they are left out here rather than guessed. The sizes above are quoted from the variety description and may differ from what you see in your own garden.
FAQ
What conditions does Adjarian seed need to germinate?
Light. The seed is very fine and should rest on the surface of fertile, well-drained, moist soil without a covering layer. The card does not give a germination temperature or a number of days, so none is stated here.
When should I sow Adjarian?
The variety description suggests starting the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Seedlings are moved outdoors later, into full sun.
How tall does Adjarian grow?
The product card lists about 4 to 5 feet (roughly 1.2 to 1.5 m), with leaves up to about 20 inches long. Treat this as a guide, since light, soil and spacing change the result.
