I have Nicotiana Rustica seeds from Lindsey. They are a year old (she gave them to me last spring to plant) That's what was in my plot for the year. unfortunately they didn't grow to flower as fast before the cold set in so I got no seeds. You might want to call her as I'm sure she has seeds from her plants that bloomed last year.

However, I took seeds from the tobacco plants at school, The San Pedro variety.I think it's called Nicotiana San Pedro. I can bring some tomorro. They seed easily but I personnally have no great luck with seeding as it's new to me. I'm sure you will have better luck. Lindsey knows more about it

The other option would be to see if Lesley will give up a pant for you. I asked her last year and her response wasn't that enthusiastic as i think there were too few, but maybe there are more plants this year to go around.

They are very easy to grow once established., a lot of sun and good water.
