Streptocarpus 'Albatross'

Perfect for bright rooms with indirect light, it works beautifully on windowsills, tables or as part of a larger indoor collection. Its long flowering season and excellent performance make it a reliable choice for continuous colour, while the blooms are also suitable for cutting.
