🌎 History & Uniqueness

Nicotiana, sometimes called Flowering Tobacco, has a long history in ornamental gardens, cherished for its evening fragrance and ethereal presence. The Starmaker hybrid series builds on this heritage with improved bloom coverage, durability, and ease of sowing. By offering pelleted seeds, it makes a traditionally “tricky” flower incredibly beginner-friendly while still appealing to serious gardeners who value performance.

🌱 Growing Tips for Success

Starmaker Nicotiana is remarkably adaptable and forgiving, making it a favorite for both beginner gardeners and seasoned flower growers.

• Sowing: Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Pelleted seeds make spacing and handling easy, just place on the soil surface and press lightly (they need light to germinate).

• Germination: 10–14 days at 70–75°F. Keep soil moist but not soggy.

• Transplanting: Harden off and plant outdoors after frost has passed. Space 12–18 inches apart.

• Light: Prefers full sun to light shade; blooms last longer in afternoon shade in hotter climates.

• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost works best.

• Water: Moderate, keep evenly moist but not waterlogged.

• Maintenance: Deadhead faded blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Pinch tips early to encourage bushier plants.

Pro Tip: Plant Starmaker Nicotiana near patios, walkways, or seating areas so you can enjoy its evening fragrance where you relax most.
