Starmaker Appleblossom Flowering Tobacco

Starmaker Appleblossom is a color selection in the Starmaker flowering tobacco series, described by Ball Seed as Nicotiana alata. Its upright, compact plants reach about 12 inches tall and 10 inches wide. The star-shaped pink-white flowers are listed for spring and summer and may continue from early spring into late summer. ## Garden Use Use the short, stocky plants in small containers, seasonal beds, or the front of a mixed border. Ball Seed notes that Starmaker plants are suited to landscape and container use, with early, uniform flowering and a compact finish. This entry retains the Appleblossom trade color identity without assigning an unsupported cultivar epithet or breeder. ## Growing Conditions Ball Seed lists partial sun, medium water, and flowering in spring and summer. Provide regular moisture during active growth and use well-drained soil; the source does not provide a USDA zone rating. The flowers are described as fragrant and attractive to bees and butterflies. ## Maintenance Keep containers from drying out during flowering and remove spent stems if a tidier appearance is desired.
