Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

Updated April 30, 2012Sinningia leucotricha
| Reichsteinaria (Sinningia) leucotricha, native to Brazil, forms a beautiful specimen with obovate leaves densely covered with shimmery silvery hairs. Slowly grows to form large "caudex", making it a highly desirable collector's specimen. Beautiful delicate apricot tubular flowers. In habitat, is found growing on cliffs near waterfalls. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright, filtered light with ample airflow. Drench thoroughly when soil is dry. If possible, it is preferable to not allow the soil mass to dry out completely. Protect from frost. Member of the Gesneriaceae family. Harold Emery Moore gave it it's name in 1973. It grows in well-drained soil some water and lots of sun. The caudex will grow to 30 centimetres. The flowers are red and it can also be reproduced by cuttings from the caudex. I have some sinningias that are between 6-"10" wide. | |

This is a sinningia tubiflora and a good example of the caudex that forms as they get larger. The sinningia leucotricha has a flatter more hairy caudex. |
