A stunning array of color is found in the open-faced blooms of Cape Primrose ‘Joy.’ With pale yellow lower petals edged in deeper tones, the magenta upper petals vary from flower to flower with some carrying rich purple shades and others with deep pink. It’s one of those flowers that surprises the gardener as it opens. Like other Cape Primroses, the blooms rise above the large, velvety foliage and it flowers intermittently throughout the year. A Dimetris hybrid.

Tips for Success:

Also known as "Cape Primrose", Streptocarpus are easy-to-grow, colorful and can bloom year-round if the right cultural conditions are met.

• Grow in partial sun to shade.• Keep temperatures above 50°F.• Water accurately; allow soil to become visually dry between waterings.• Never allow cold water to touch the leaves.• Go easy on the fertilizer – just once or twice a month with a dilute solution.

Beautiful!

I now own eight different varieties of Streptocarpus (all purchased from Logee's) and got this latest one because it looked beautiful and my name is Joy. Streptocarpus are so easy to grow and get bigger and better as time goes on. Perfect for home window or under plant lights. In time I hope to own more varieties.
