Slipper Flower (Calceolaria Herbeohybrida Fashion Mix) - What an exceptional little annual this is! Easily grown from Slipper Flower seeds, it is an exotic plant that is a favorite of many gardeners. Well-known for its large, puffed up blooms, Calceolaria is commonly referred to by many names: Lady Slipper, Slipper Flower, Pocketbook Plant, or Slipperwort. It is a treasured flower to Victorian era gardeners with its cheerful, dotted blooms.

Slipperwort Calceolaria is compact and easy to grow from flower seeds. It is delicate preferring a cool summer with regular watering. When temperatures begin to drop, bring Slipper Flower plants indoors and find a sunny window for them to sit in. Calceolaria Lady Slipper plants need moist but well-draining soil. Water the plant at the base as water drops can permanently spot the blossoms. When grown indoors, Slipper Flower will grow as a biennial.

How To Grow Calceolaria From Seed: Sow Slipper Flower seeds indoors in small peat pots. Use quality starter mix that is well-draining. Pre-moisten the mix, sow the Calceolaria seeds on the surface but do not cover. Use a spray bottle to mist the seeds to keep them moist but not saturated.

Slipper Flower (Calceolaria Herbeohybrida Fascination Mix) - Whether you call this annual Slipper Flower, Slipperwort, Lady Slipper, or Pocketbook Plant, this little plant is amazing and very exotic. Grown from Slipper Flower seeds, this flower is great for indoors or outdoors. Blooms will start opening when the plant is just 5 inches tall, and they are the brightest and most unusual blooms you will ever find. Slipper Flower Calceolaria only reaches 8 inches in height, so it's perfect for a windowsill or any indoor location receiving bright, filtered light. Grow Calceolaria Lady Slipper outdoors as well. The plants would perform better in regions with mild summers.

Grown indoors or out, Slipperwort Calceolaria plants should be watered well throughout the growth process and fertilized every 3 - 4 weeks. If growing indoors, water very sparingly during winter. Water at the base of the plant as water droplets can cause unsightly marks on the blooms.

How To Grow Calceolaria From Seed: Sow Slipper Flower seeds indoors in small peat pots. Use quality starter mix that is well-draining. Pre-moisten the mix, sow the Calceolaria seeds on the surface but do not cover. Use a spray bottle to mist the flower seeds to keep them moist but not saturated.
