Starmaker Bicolor Lime/Purple Flowering Tobacco

Starmaker Lime/Purple Bicolor is a named color selection in the Starmaker flowering tobacco series. Ball Seed identifies it as Nicotiana alata and describes compact, upright plants about 12 inches tall and 10 inches wide, with flowers in spring and summer. The selection is presented as a lime-and-purple bicolor rather than as a separate cultivar denomination. ## Garden Use The small stature is suited to containers, seasonal borders, and compact landscape plantings. Its contrasting flower colors make it useful as a focal accent among lower annuals. Ball Seed’s crop information describes Starmaker as an early, uniform series with compact plants for landscape and container displays. ## Growing Conditions The exact Ball Seed plant page lists partial sun and medium water. Maintain consistent moisture while the plant is growing and flowering, and use soil that drains freely. The page gives a 40°F hardiness degree, which is not a USDA zone rating, so no zone conversion is applied here. ## Maintenance Check containers regularly for moisture and remove damaged stems when needed. The [Ball Seed Starmaker Lime/Purple Bicolor page](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=044405675021684) supplies the selection-specific size, exposure, water, and seasonal details.
