Description
Dark purple-green leaves with even darker impressed veins form the low, mounding backdrop for brilliant red tubular flowers. It succeeds here as a house plant and would be a dramatic plant in a pot whose foliage is more than sufficient when not in bloom. In our climate, bring it inside in winter; this is a relative of the African Violet but not that tender. Requires fertile, well-drained soil that stays neither too wet nor too dry. They will grow and bloom in bright or dappled shade but perform best with direct sun for part of the day, preferably in the morning or late afternoon.Note: This plant is also sometimes sold as Seemannia sylvatica
