Calceloraria Dainty Mix

Calceolaria Dainty Mix, also known as “Lady’s Purse” or “Slipper Flower“, stands out with its playful personality and vivid colours. Each bloom bursts with cheerful tones of yellow, red, and orange, often speckled with bold spots that create a whimsical, eye-catching effect. Unlike most bedding plants, Calceolaria looks like it belongs in a storybook rather than a flowerbed. That’s exactly what makes it so special. Expect peak flowering in late spring to early summer.

To keep it looking its best, choose a cool, sheltered location away from direct sunlight. The thick, pouch-like flowers can scorch in full sun, so filtered light or a shaded patio works best. When it comes to watering, aim for the base of the plant rather than the top, getting water on the blooms can cause damage. With the right care, these compact plants reward you with weeks of charming colour and texture.

Whether you’re designing a shaded corner or want to add a splash of curiosity to your container garden, this unique variety makes a lasting impression from the very first bloom.
