1818-2018

Streptocarpus rexii was found in Knysna, S. Africa in 1818 by James Bowie, a plant collector for Kew Gardens.  That was the start of the cultivation of streptocarpus plants.  To celebrate this important bicentenary, we have dedicated part of our Chelsea display this year to the many beautiful and delicate streptocarpus species.   

Photos of the display so far...

Houseplant heaven: You don't need a garden to enjoy plants, says the woman who runs one of Britain's biggest houseplant nurseries

• Lynne Dibley says the Victorian trend for house plants can work just as well now 
• Suggest some of her favourites to work in your own indoor garden 
• She believes we're entering a boom time for houseplants, as homes get smaller and urban dwellers crave more greenery 

A lovely article by Constance Craig Smith.
