Ladyslippers® Deep Blue Vein - Streptocarpus

Deep Blue Vein is a Ladyslippers® Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus), grown for patterned flowers and a long display in bright, filtered light. Deep Blue Vein is the darkest selection in this group, with violet-blue flowers and strongly marked veins. Its exact patent record for SLSBV08-0 describes large flowers, heavy veining on the lower three lobes, 6–8 flowers per inflorescence, and an upright habit. It provides a deep-toned contrast in a bright room or shaded summer container. ## Profile Green Fuse lists the Ladyslippers® selections for continuous flowering indoors by a bright window or outdoors in shade, and its series catalogue gives a 6–10 inch garden height. The culture sheet recommends bright indirect light, protection from hot direct sun, and allowing the growing medium to move from dry toward damp between waterings. Use a draining container and avoid leaving the mix waterlogged.

Use it as a flowering container accent where the flower markings can be seen up close. The flower colors are blue and purple. ## Maintenance Provide bright filtered light and keep the plant out of hot direct sun. Let the mix dry back toward damp between waterings, then water evenly; sub-irrigation is an option in the Green Fuse culture guidance. Remove finished flower stalks while keeping healthy leaves in place.
