Streptocarpus haygarthii

A Streptocarpus from KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Like many in the genus, it most likely grows on shaded, damp banks and rock faces in forest and forest edges. It wants warm, humid summers and a cooler, drier winter, so it does well in the bright shade that suits Cape primroses, with a free-draining, airy mix.

Where it grows wild

Inferred from the genus and region: shaded rock faces, forest edges and damp, mossy stream banks in the summer-rainfall east of South Africa.

Most records sit between the coastal hinterland and the midlands, roughly 300–1400 m, with a few higher.
