Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Streptocarpus Ladyslippers™ Deep Blue Vein is a lovely cape primrose that makes an excellent houseplant. Features lovely periwinkle blue flowers with cream white centers blooming above textured foliage. This amazing plant graces your house with a long-lasting explosion of color, practically blooming all year if grown in good conditions. An indoor temperature of 67-75°F is ideal. Temperatures too much above 80°F tend to cause leafburn as well as reduce the blooming power and longevity of the plant. Primroses can be grown in low light conditions, although an east or west-facing window is best. They prefer high humidity and a consistently moist, but not waterlogged soil.
