Each plant measures approximately 5-9 inches in height. Plants are supplied in a bare-root state for immediate potting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctive \"Floating\" Blooms: Produces a profusion of delicate, trumpet-shaped periwinkle-blue flowers suspended on wiry stems. This growth habit creates a visual effect of clouds of flowers floating above the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShade Garden Solution: Thrives in partial shade to full shade where many flowering plants fail. It serves as an excellent choice for brightening covered porches, shaded patios, and tree-canopied gardens with constant color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile Indoor\/Outdoor Use: Functions as a trailing annual for outdoor hanging baskets in summer or as a long-lived flowering houseplant year-round. Related to the African Violet, it adapts well to indoor indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTactile Foliage: Features small, succulent-like leaves covered in fine, soft hairs, giving the plant a velvety texture. The foliage remains lush and attractive even when the plant is between blooming cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting Note: Streptocarpella stems are naturally brittle and succulent. Minor breakage during transit does not impact plant health. Any separated stems can be propagated by inserting them into moist soil to root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Floating\" Flower for Shady Spaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConcord Blue Streptocarpella (often called the False African Violet or Nodding Violet) is a hidden gem in the gardening world. It solves one of the most common landscaping challenges: adding vibrant color to shady spots. While most blooming plants crave sun, this unique variety flourishes in the shade. With our 2-Pack of starter plants, you can create a serene, cooling display of blue on a shaded porch or in a dim corner of your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Cloud of Periwinkle Blue The magic of this plant lies in its flower presentation. The small, tubular blooms are held high above the foliage on thin, wiry stems. When a breeze catches them, they nod and sway, creating the illusion of a blue cloud hovering over the velvety green leaves. It blooms continuously throughout the warm season, providing months of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Perfect Houseplant Cousin As a relative of the African Violet, Streptocarpella makes an exceptional houseplant. Unlike its cousin, it has a trailing, branching habit perfect for indoor hanging baskets or pedestals. It enjoys the same conditions—bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures—making it easy to keep happy indoors during the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLow Maintenance Beauty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-Cleaning: The small flowers drop cleanly when finished, requiring no deadheading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrought Resilient: The thick, fuzzy leaves store moisture, allowing the plant to tolerate dry spells better than many other shade annuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting Information These starter plants arrive bare-root. While the stems are delicate (similar to succulents), the plant is vigorous. It roots easily and grows quickly, filling out baskets and pots with a lush mound of foliage and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMain Color: Blue, Periwinkle, Purple\u003cbr\u003e\nSun Exposure: Partial shade (2-4 hours), Full shade (less than 2 hours), Indirect Light (Indoors)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlooming Period: Spring to Fall (Year-round Indoors)\u003cbr\u003e\nMoisture Needs: Moderate watering (Allow surface to dry slightly)\u003cbr\u003e\nUSDA Hardiness Zone Range: 9-11 (Treat as Annual or Houseplant in Zones 4-8)\u003cbr\u003e\nMature Height: 8-12 inches (Trails 12-24 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal Soil Type: Potting mix, Loam soil (Must be well-draining)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plants Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51800359534875,"sku":"2STREPB","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1920\/8475\/files\/il_fullxfull.7730855795_nx3q.jpg?v=1771438914","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantsnursery.com\/products\/concord-blue-streptocarpella-plants-pack-of-2-two-5-9-inch-streptocarpus-saxorum-false-african-violet-shade-loving-nodding-violet","provider":"Florida Plants Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
