Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This new Cape Primrose has captured our attention not only for its color but also for its compact size. The blooms are deep red with a yellow throat and only reach about 3/4" in size. Perfect for a windowsill or small growing space the small blast of color brightens any room and fits into spaces where others could not. Grow in partial sun to shade and watch the blooms appear.
