'Lemon Sorbet' is quite compact in stature, but its showy flowers are really eye-catching. Soft lilac in bud, it's only when their flaring petal lobes open and their claret-eyed, butter yellow faces are revealed, that they really start to shine. Undemanding and easy to grow, they'll reward you with many months of non-stop colour.

We’re proud to support our British growers, and having been raised by one of our trusted UK nurseries, this indoor plant has a low carbon footprint, which makes it perfect for an eco-friendly collection or gift.


  • Home care:
    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.
