Starmaker Bright Red Flowering Tobacco

Starmaker Bright Red is a color selection in the Starmaker flowering tobacco series, identified on Ball Seed’s plant page as Nicotiana alata. It forms upright, short-stemmed plants about 12 inches tall and 10 inches wide, with red, star-shaped flowers in spring and summer. The series is described as compact and early flowering, with a landscape and container use. ## Garden Use The bright flowers create a strong seasonal accent in small containers, mixed annual displays, and the front of a border. Starmaker is a series name; Bright Red identifies this color selection. No unsupported cultivar epithet or breeder association is assigned to this record. ## Growing Conditions Ball Seed lists partial sun and medium water for this selection, along with flowering from spring through summer. Provide regular moisture in well-drained soil during active growth. The page gives a hardiness degree in Fahrenheit rather than a USDA zone, so no zone conversion is made. ## Maintenance Monitor containers during warm weather and remove damaged stems as needed.
