Moms Plant


This is a plant that we named for (Rob's) mom.  A plant that she rescued, never repotted, rarely watered or fed, knocked to the floor numerous times by the cats, and bloomed nearly continuously for over a year in a dimly lit north window.  We had to keep it and name it.  It has lovely light blue blooms shaded darker purple.

Amazing

This plant by far has been my favorite streptocarpus to grow. It really is indestructible. I ordered this plant as a gift and forgot to take it out of the water bucket where I was watering it over the weekend while on vacation. It sat for 72 hours in large bowl filled with water and it was sitting out of the lights. I for sure thought I killed it off. When I came home the plant had grown significantly and had pushed out multiple bloom stalks in just 3 days. I was floored with the resiliency of this plant even after drowning it!! If there were more stars I would give it for this one! The flowers, foliage, annd growth pattern are amazing and I don’t have enough good things to say about this strep. Thank you Violet Barn!

It is Mom's plant

I love this plant and the story behind it. She is big and beautiful. No full flowers yet, but a few buds about ready to open. The size of this plant is big and she is bold, going to be a real beauty when she matures.
