The brightest, zingiest Streptocarpus so far – the open face of the flowers sparkles in the sunshine. This variety is extremely floriferous with months of continuous blooms; compact growth. Height 17-22cm. Flower size 5cm. Height 11-20cm (4-8″); spread 11-20cm (4-8″).
Growing Information
March to September
Place your Streptocarpus in a bright spot but not in prolonged direct sunlight – an east or west-facing windowsill is perfect. Water regularly as the compost begins to dry out but avoid letting the plant sit in water. Feed fortnightly with a high-potash feed (diluted to half strength) to maximise flowering. Cut back spent flower stalks to the base to encourage more to form. As the plant grows, repot as necessary in spring into a slightly larger pot.
October to February
Move to a south facing windowsill if possible. Only water when the compost dries out and don’t feed. Remove any dead leaves and debris to minimise the chance of pests and diseases.
