Description
This streptocarpa dark flower form gives wholesale buyers a deeper, more saturated bloom color than the standard streptocarpa already in our catalog. It is the same easy-growing, fragrant species with one clear point of difference: the color of its flower.
About Streptocarpa Dark Flower
Standard streptocarpa blooms in a soft lilac shade, but this form produces a deep purple flower instead, a noticeably richer color that stands out on a display bench. Like the regular form, it is fragrant, giving buyers a two-sense selling point: strong scent paired with a bolder bloom color. Mature plants reach 6 to 8 inches tall, keeping it a manageable size for individual sale or mixed trays.
Because streptocarpa is already an established name in the fragrant Tillandsia category, this dark-flowered form gives retailers an easy upsell alongside the standard listing, aimed at buyers who specifically want a deeper bloom color for their own customers. We are currently offering it while supplies last, so it makes sense to feature now rather than treat it as a permanent shelf item. The richer bloom color also photographs especially well for online product listings. It slots naturally next to the standard streptocarpa listing for buyers comparing bloom colors side by side.
Growing Streptocarpa: Care Guide
Give it bright light and let it dry out between waterings, the same xeric routine as the standard species. Feed monthly with diluted TillyBoost Fertilizer to support blooming. It pairs naturally with other scented species on a fragrant-plant display shelf.
