Producing the first flat-faced bi-coloured flowers, and shortlisted for Chelsea Plant of the Centenary in 2013, this compact cape primrose has gorgeous blooms that are a mix of soft blue and butter yellow, and the colour is defined by the deep purple streaks that run from the throat. Forming a neat cluster above the basal foliage, 'Harlequin Blue' will offer many months of colour when placed in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. It comes supplied in a white glazed ceramic pot, which offers an immediate and attractive way to display it in your home.

Throughout the growing season, keep them quite well watered, but as they are sensitive to overwatering, allow the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should also be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Remove spent flowers as they fade and trim back any old leaves that are past their best. Overwinter on a south or west-facing windowsill and water less often. Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre-based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding - grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.
