Purchased from eBay about ten years ago, I have a very cramped pot of this tuberous plant and also one smaller cutting that has survived. This plant is probably hardy outside here in Seattle, so I’m going to plant the cutting out in the memory garden to see how it does.
Sinningia is an attractive plant family, and this is no exception with its gray-green fuzzy leaves and fragrant tubular white flowers on tall stalks. They have a very faint scent of vanilla. The added bonus is that the flowers arrive really late in the season, September and beyond.
Future plans for this plant include a division and repot in the late winter to get at least six plants and a few small divisions coming along. And I could use a lot better photos, too, of all stages of this plant’s growth.
