Schizanthus Atlantis, also called the “Poor Man’s Orchid” or “Butterfly Flower“, is a striking annual with delicate, orchid-like blooms. These flowers, often in shades of pink, purple, and white, create a beautiful contrast against the plant’s soft, feathery foliage. Growing to about 30cm, Schizanthus forms compact, rounded clumps that brighten up any garden. This plant thrives in cool, moist conditions, making it perfect for cooler climates. For best results, grow it in full sun, but in warmer areas, plant it in light shade to extend the blooming season. From July to September, Schizanthus produces a profusion of colorful flowers, adding charm to garden beds, borders, and containers.
Additionally, these flowers attract butterflies, enhancing the garden’s ecosystem. Schizanthus is also well-suited for indoor displays. Once in bloom, you can bring it inside for vibrant, long-lasting cut flowers. Whether used in your garden or as a decorative indoor feature, Schizanthus Atlantis will surely add a touch of beauty and elegance to your space.
