Description
Streptocarpella or Cape Primrose is a much less fussy cousin to the much loved African Violet. It constantly produces an abundance of blooms on long wiry stems. It has small fuzzy leaves and a trailing habit that makes it wonderful as a house plant or a shady container garden. Given appropriate conditions they will flower constantly whether kept indoors or out. Unlike African Violets, Streptocarpella are quite tolerant of a variety of temperatures and perform fabulously outdoors in a shaded location. They are the perfect alternative to boring old impatiens for a shady patio corner. Try mixing the white and blue together in the same pot for a dazzling display.
Includes 1 blue Streptocarpella starter plant in 2.5″ pot for each item added to cart. An example of starter plants is included in the photos. The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.
Hardiness zone: 10
What does hardiness zone 10 mean?
It means that Streptocarpella are not cold tolerant and require protection from freezing temperatures. If you are growing them outdoors, bring them inside once temperatures start regularly dipping below 50 degrees.
