Streptocarpus are ideal plants to grow and exhibit into your local flower show. Your chosen plant needs to have healthy, mid-green coloured foliage and flowers should be plentiful.

🌸Make sure you remove any damaged or faded flowers.

🌸Keep plants free from pests.

🌸Plants should look good from all sides – turn plants regularly so that they don't become one sided.

🌸Feed plants regularly (with a high potash feed) to keep them growing and producing new flowers.

There are many Streptocarpus varieties to choose from. My top picks, which we showcase at many prestigious flower shows, would include Falling Stars, Gloria, Bethan, Targa, Polka-Dot Purple, Katie, Matilda, Marion, Tina and Harlequin Lace.  Have a go and see if you win some prizes!
