Plant description

Grown for their showy flowers, which come in a wide range of colours, these tender perennials make superb houseplants. They will flower from mid-spring to mid-autumn and tend to bloom more prolifically when slightly pot-bound. Mainly originating from woodland, rocky slopes and grassland in southern Africa, they require a frost-free position with filtered sun.

We’re proud to support our British growers, and having been raised by one of our trusted UK nurseries, this indoor plant has a low carbon footprint, which makes it perfect for an eco-friendly collection or gift.

What's included:

In this collection you will receive one rooted cutting of each of the following varieties:

  • Streptocarpus 'Carys': A compact and very free flowering cultivar, with soft lavender blue upper lobes and deep purple veining over the lower lobes, held above lush, green, slightly textured foliage. Grows to 32cm.

  • Streptocarpus 'Falling Stars': Dainty sky blue flowers appear in profusion putting on a really showy display. Hailed as 'one of our best' by the breeder Dibleys, it's early flowering and easy to grow. Grows to 38cm.

  • Streptocarpus 'Targa': A stunning cultivar with rich, deep purple flowers and a velvet sheen on flat-faced flowers, held above a rosette of green, textured leaves. Grows to 30cm.

  • Streptocarpus 'Marion': This white and blue-flowering sport (of 'Katie') has an exceptionally long flowering season and a neat and tidy habit. Grows to 30cm.

  • Streptocarpus 'Caitlin': Hairy wrinkled leaves form a neat basal rosette, which is topped with an abundance of upright branching stems bearing two-tone pink flowers. Grows to 32cm.

  • Streptocarpus 'Sadie': Soft, bubble-gum pink flowers, sprinkled with sherbet lemon in the centre and wine-red veining emerging from the throat, this cheerful, free-flowering cultivar neatly finishes the collection. Grows to 25cm.

    How to care for Streptocarpus collection Blue and Pink:

    Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Overwinter in a shaded greenhouse, or indoors on a south or west-facing windowsill, watering less often. Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre-based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding - grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.

    Which house plant where?

    Which house plants you choose should depend on the environment you intend to keep them in, the space available, how much time you can spend preening them as well as your personal preference. For me, foliage house plants are the ticket, because they provid
