Description

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).

How to Grow

March to September

Place your Streptocarpus in a bright spot in indirect light out of the midday sun. Do not expose to hot, direct sunlight. An east or west-facing windowsill is perfect. About once a week water sparingly when the compost begins to dry out, keeping plants on the dry side. Never leave them to sit in water. Overwatering can be fatal. Feed weekly with a high potash tomato feed which will boost flower production. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.As the plant grows, repot as necessary in spring into a slightly larger pot.

October to February

Move to a south facing windowsill if possible. Keep drier over the winter, only watering occasionally and sparingly when the compost dries out. Don’t feed. Remove any dead leaves and debris to minimise the chance of pests and diseases.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. In winter, allow the compost to dry out slightly in between waterings.
