Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deep, dark blue blossoms have white upper lobes with dark blue webbing throughout. There's deep purple veining in the throat of each blossom and the undersides are white. Like most Cape Primroses, it's easy-to-grow and excellent for home culture. 'Remembering John' will flower well on a partially sunlit window or under fluorescent lighting. Streps like to be pot bound so it can remain in a 4" pot for years. A recent David Thompson introduction.
