Blue Star 100 Tobacco Seeds (Nicotiana tabacum) — The Reliable Burley Heirloom for Home Cultivation

Blue Star 100 is the workhorse of home tobacco cultivation: a proven, open-pollinated burley heirloom combining modern selection with traditional reliability. This columnar-growing tobacco reaches 6 feet to the crown leaf, or 7-8 feet with flower head, creating an upright form that sheds rain and resists wind damage. Once seedlings establish, the plants demand minimal intervention, thriving effortlessly through harvest. Blue Star 100 produces an average of 18-20 large, evenly-spaced leaves ranging 24-30 inches in length and 12-14 inches in width with exceptional weight. Leaves begin ripening before full maturity, turning bright lemon-yellow, allowing progressive harvesting at peak ripeness. Matures in just 75-80 days from transplant. The white-stemmed architecture and reliable performance make this variety popular among home gardeners and small producers. Deer-resistant, naturally low-maintenance once established, and producing abundant harvest-ready foliage.
