Tobacco Ultsman Seeds

Tobacco Ultsman is listed here as a variety of Nicotiana tabacum, an annual leafy plant sold as seed for sowing and growing. The store name comes from our price list. The product card has no further description of Ultsman, so this page keeps to what holds for the species and says plainly which details are missing.

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

These are names of the species. Ultsman is the variety name as listed in the store, and no other names for it are recorded.

• Frost: the plant is tender and is moved outdoors only once frost has passed

Sowing Ultsman

Fine seed is easy to bury by mistake. Fill a tray or small pots with moist, well-drained seed-starting mix, firm the surface and scatter the seed thinly on top. Press it in gently with a flat board or your palm so it touches the soil, and leave it uncovered so light reaches it.

• Placement: on the surface, never under a layer of soil.
• Watering: mist from above or let the tray take water from below. A strong stream carries the seed into clumps.
• Place: a warm, bright spot, with the surface kept from drying out until seedlings appear.
• Seedlings: they start tiny and grow slowly. Once true leaves form, thin them or prick them out into single pots.
• Outdoors: set young plants out after the last frost, in a sunny, sheltered bed with fertile, well-drained soil.

Plants of this species grow tall and leafy, so leave each one room for air to move around it. The final size of an individual plant depends on light, soil and spacing.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for Ultsman, so this page gives no germination percentage, viability period, seed size, sowing temperature or number of days to germinate. Height, leaf shape and flower colour are not on the product card either, and the gallery has no photographs to describe. Nothing is said about where the variety comes from. When these details are added to the card, this text will be updated to match.

FAQ

How do I sow Ultsman seeds?

Scatter the seed on the surface of moist seed-starting mix, press it in lightly and do not cover it. Nicotiana seed is sown uncovered because it is very fine and light helps it germinate.

When should I sow Ultsman?

The card gives no sowing date for this variety. For the species, seed is started indoors in a warm place ahead of the season in cool climates, and seedlings go outside only after the last frost. Check your own last-frost date and count back from it.

How tall does Ultsman grow?

The card states no height for this variety, so no figure is given. Nicotiana tabacum as a species forms a tall, leafy annual, and spacing and light change how large each plant becomes.
