Are there any Virginia varieties that thrive in cold climate/short growing seasons?

Looking for VA varieties that are fast growing for short growing season (3-4 months) and grow well in cold climates (~63F average)?

Virginia flue-cure varieties are grown in Canada, Nepal, the Andean mountains, and all parts in between. If you start your germination indoors, 8 weeks before your average last frost date, then you will need only about 60 days for them to mature post transplant to outdoors. You may need longer to mature seed pods.

You can check the stated days to maturation on each variety at Northwood Seeds.
