From John Ingram:
16. Seed of Sinningia sellovii " These
should be hardy to at least z7. I am testing them this
year in z5 (N. Canton, Ohio). Mature plants have 100's
of flowers per stem. Once the initial branch is done,
the stem branched and pushes out 2 or 3 more stems
with nearly as many flowers each. Mine has been
blooming since last November. Plant in full sun to
light shade. They bloom best in full sun. It also
makes a great houseplant if you have the room. My
bulbs are in 5 and 7 gallon containers and they are to
the edges of them. The plant gets 2' tall with 2'
flower spikes on top. In So. Cal it is evergreen with
less bloom in the winter months and more during the
months of May-August.
For photos, go to Plant Delights web page. Tony sells
them in 4" containers and mine are in 1 gallon that I
sell. The flower color I would describe as a dusky
salmon. It can bloom the first year from seed but the second
year is more definite."
