Notes
'Hope' Cape primrose (Streptocarpus 'Hope') is a perennial for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and loamy soil. It stays evergreen and reaches about 12 inches tall and wide. Blooms can appear in any season, so a pot of it gives color all year.
Pairs well with Coleus, Snow Queen pothos, Dragon Wing Pink begonia, and Regal geranium.
