Bristols Solar Wind

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

Lovely

I received this one as my freebie in my last order in Aug. It is already blooming and a lovely plant. My bloom is lighter in color than the picture but I am very happy with it.

Beautiful bloomer

Sits in my kitchen window and puts up the most beautiful blooms!

Wonderful Plant - keeps blooming

This is a lovely plant. The splash of yellow is very nice along with the dark purple whiskers. There always seems to be new buds coming up.

Wonderful Plant - lots of blooms

This was my first Streptocarpus. It took a little while, but once Solar Wind started blooming, it just keeps going. It went from one bloom to more than six withing a few weeks. I love it.

Exquisite coloring!

This is my favorite so far! The colors are subtle and beautiful! Our granddaughter loves the little dark whiskers! Altogether happy with Solar Wind.

New to Streps

I'd seen streptocarpus, but didn't have any. Got one from a grower and fell in love. Ordered this and like everything I've ordered from Violet Barn, arrived very well packed and was very healthy. I'm anxious to get a few more.

Love it

Getting my package today was great. It came well secured, no soil all over the place and the plant looked healthy. I am looking forward to buying more for my birthday next month.

Bristol's Solar Wind always in bloom

I love this plant. It is always in bloom. Mine bloomed non-stop for a whole year and then faded away. I think it bloomed itself out. I will try this one again.

Striking Beauty

A strikingly beautiful plant, very easy to grow, and a fast grower. This is one of those must haves for your collection.

Great plant!

I've been growing this strep for over a year and it has never failed to disappoint. Constant bloomer, vigorous grower and easy care. Great little plant!
