Ladyslippers® Grape Ice - Streptocarpus

Grape Ice is a Ladyslippers® Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus), grown for patterned flowers and a long display in bright, filtered light. Grape Ice combines purple and purple-violet petals with white streaks and flecks. Its exact patent record for SLSGI21-0 describes a compact, floriferous plant with many flowers per inflorescence and a notably short inflorescence; the RHS profile also records partial shade, loam, and moist but well-drained soil. This patterned selection works well as a close-view container plant. ## 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 purple and white. ## 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.
