Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Streptocarpella ‘Concord Blue’ is a lovely cape primrose native to South Africa with a long bloom season, practically from early Spring to Fall. A profusion of gorgeous violet blue flowers are held on light stems above felty, mounding foliage. 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.
