Plant description
Big on flowers but small in size, this compact beauty is made for bright windowsills and little corners that need a lift. It forms a neat rosette of slim, gently ruffled green leaves, from which slender stems rise to carry a steady stream of richly coloured, purplish blooms for months on end.
Each flower is fully double and frilled, opening in bold purple tones with deeper veining that adds texture and depth to every petal. The ruffled edges and layered centres give a full, almost rosette-like look, creating a lively display that keeps going from spring well into autumn. Despite its exotic appearance, it keeps a tidy habit and fits comfortably on a small table or in a conservatory out of full sun.
Easy to grow and generous with its flowers, Streptocarpus ‘Angie’ suits both new plant owners and seasoned collectors. Give it bright, indirect light, water carefully to keep the compost just moist, and it will reward you with up to nine months of vibrant, double blooms that truly earn their space indoors.
We’re proud to support our British growers, and having been raised by one of our trusted UK nurseries, this indoor plant has a low carbon footprint, which makes it perfect for an eco-friendly collection or gift.

How to care for Streptocarpus Angie:
Pot on rooted cuttings into general purpose compost and grow on indoors in an indirectly lit spot.
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Avoid letting water sit on the leaves.
Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre-based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding - grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. Overwinter in a shaded greenhouse, or indoors on a south or west-facing windowsill, watering less often.
