Growing Pilsudski from seed
Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is pressed onto the surface and never buried. The figures below come from the variety description and are approximate guides, not results measured on a specific seed lot.
- Sowing: press the seeds lightly onto the soil surface and do not cover them.
- Timing: the card suggests starting the seeds indoors in mid-February.
- Transplanting: move seedlings outdoors once they are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed.
- Spacing: about 50 cm between plants.
- Soil and care: well-drained soil kept consistently moist. The card describes the foliage as resistant to pests and diseases, which is worth treating as a general note rather than a guarantee.
At about 120 cm the plants are tall, so the 50 cm spacing leaves each one room for air and light around the broad leaves. Keep young seedlings evenly moist, harden them off gradually before they go outside, and plant them out when nights are reliably mild.
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 percentage, a germination time, a soil temperature, a viability period or a seed size. The history of the variety and its exact days to flowering are not documented well enough on the product card to repeat here, so they are left out instead of guessed. The photographs in the gallery have not all been reviewed against this variety, so this text makes no claims about what the plants in them look like beyond the card.
FAQ
How do I sow Pilsudski seeds?
Press them lightly onto the surface of the soil and do not cover them. The seeds need light to germinate, so burying them works against the plant. Keep the surface moist while you wait.
When should I sow Pilsudski?
The variety description recommends sowing indoors in mid-February, then moving seedlings outdoors after the last frost has passed. Adjust the dates to the frost calendar of your own area, since mid-February is a guide rather than a fixed rule.
How tall does Pilsudski grow?
The product card gives a height of about 120 cm, with broad, smooth leaves and around 22 to 24 leaves per plant. Treat these as approximate figures, since light, soil and spacing change the final size.
