Streptocarpus 'Betty'

Streptocarpus 'Betty' is an early-flowering, fast-growing Cape primrose that puts on a striking display of large, sky-blue blooms—each measuring around 5.6cm across. The delicately coloured petals are beautifully accented by a bold splash of deep purple in the throat, adding depth and drama to this charming variety.Exceptionally long flowering and easy to grow, Streptocarpus are one of the most rewarding houseplants. Clusters of exotic-looking blooms rise on slender stems above rosettes of wrinkled green leaves. Flowering can last for up to 9 months, and the blooms come in an endless array of vibrant shades and colour combinations. They create a superb focal point on a bright windowsill or in the conservatory, providing masses of colourful blooms from April to October. Striking good looks and an easy-going nature make this Cape Primrose a perfect gift for beginners and seasoned growers. Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 40cm (16in).
