Streptocarpus variety 3S Fireflies At Dusk, common name Cape Primrose, is a live, rooted plant growing in a 2.5" wide by 2.5" deep pot. Flower buds may or may not be present on your young plant.

Palest pink upper lobes with cream lower lobes, covered entirely with dark violet-blue fantasy. Wine-colored streaks come from throat onto lower 3 lobes (appearing black in the fantasy). Broad leaves form a nice rosette. Slower to mature, but once established puts up an abundant display of dark fantasy flowers.

Streptocarpus are close relatives to the African Violet in the Gesneriad family. Plant size can vary with each variety, but generally can reach 12 inches high by 18 inches wide. Leaf size and length varies from plant to plant. Suitable for indoor pots and hanging baskets in an eastern exposure. They can bloom year round with strong growth under fluorescent lighting for 15 hours a day. Use a light, porous potting mix and allow plants to dry down between waterings. Wet soil will cause plants to rot. Feed regularly using a well balanced fertilizer with every watering. Ideal temperature is 65 to 75 degrees with a minimum of 50 degrees. They do not like it too hot.
