Streptocarpus is part of the gesneriaceae family with its cousin, African Violet. Streptocarpus is commonly known as Cape Primrose, it’s not actually a primrose but has similar-looking deep-green textured foliage. Streps are native to the mountains of South Africa and they are known to grow on the woodland floor.
We're calling streptocarpus the cool cousin of the African Violet because they’re somewhat easier to care for and they’re simply covered in stemmy, showy flowers in all sorts of color combinations that blow African Violets out of the water! We’re carrying the GreenFuse line of Streptocarpus Ladyslippers®, and in addition to deep green, fuzzy and full foliage, the flowers are simply incredible.
With consistent light, they can flower for 10 months out of the year!
