Streptocarpus x Hybridus ‘Dragon Mix’ seeds – ( Cape Primrose)

Description

Streptocarpus seeds produce  an excellent indoor pot plant , and  this mix of seeds produces flowers in   a large range of colours including bicolours – (a few plain colours are pictured) . Streptocarpus seeds flower about 6 months from seed. They will withstand temperatures of about 12 Deg C in winter time, and so you can  grow them  outside in northern areas, unless it frosts in your area. For a pretty and rather unusual pot plant, try this one.  It quite likes a shady spot so long as it is still warm and will produce its lovely flowers even with a bit of neglect.  Here is what the RHS says about growing them  https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/streptocarpus/growing-guide
