Plant description
A stunning Cape Primrose variety with exquisite double blooms that will grace a brightly lit spot in your home out of direct sunlight. Blooming intermittently throughout spring, summer, and autumn, each sturdy, erect stem proudly displays up to six large flowers. The upper lobes of 'Dolina' enchant with their hyacinth blue hue and delicately ruffled edges, while the lower lobes captivate with their deep purple veins, extending from the center of the bloom to the fringed edges.
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. captivate with their deep purple veins, extending from the center of the bloom to the fringed edges.

How to care for Streptocarpus Dolina:
Throughout the growing season, keep them quite well watered, but as they are sensitive to overwatering, allow the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should also be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Remove spent flowers as they fade and trim back any old leaves that are past their best. Overwinter on a south or west-facing windowsill and water less often. 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.
