Streptocarpus 'Gwen'
Streptocarpus ‘Gwen’ is a graceful flowering houseplant producing elegant white blooms delicately veined with soft violet-purple. The intricate markings radiate from the throat of each flower, creating a refined and eye-catching display above a base of velvety green foliage.
Perfect for bright indoor spaces with indirect light, it works beautifully on windowsills, desks or small tables where its flowers can be enjoyed up close. Its free-flowering nature and compact habit make it ideal for bringing long-lasting colour and subtle detail into the home.

Flowering: Most varieties bloom from April to late autumn. Crystal Series may flower all year.
