HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting on the surface of the soil since these Indian tobacco seeds need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Lobelia Inflata seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. To start indoors, sow the seed 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring and keep the soil lightly moist until germination. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled and there is no chance of frost.
Growing: Keep seedings well watered and control weeds. These plants need continual moisture, and thrive even in very wet soil. They may self-sow in growing conditions. Mature plants can be divided in early spring. These plants flourish near ponds or streams.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the plant will produce seed pods. Watch the pods carefully, since they eventually split and release their seeds. Harvest the seeds as soon as they ripen to their mature light brown color. The entire plant can also be removed and spread out to dry, and the seeds removed from the pods. Store the Indian tobacco seeds in a cool, dry place.

So far so good. The packaging was great but I won't know how germination is until it grows next spring. Other than that, my experience was excellent.
