Know before you buy
This plant thrives in partial sun or shade. To encourage reliable, year-round blooming, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light rather than direct, harsh sun.
The Cape Primrose ‘Full Moon’ is a compact houseplant that typically reaches a mature height of 6 to 12 inches, making it well-suited for windowsills or small tabletops.
While it is primarily grown as an indoor plant, it can be moved outdoors in warmer months as long as it is kept in a shaded area. Ensure it is brought back inside before temperatures drop below 50°F, as it is not frost-tolerant.
It is considered an easy-to-grow houseplant. As long as you provide it with appropriate light and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations, it is quite resilient and rewarding.
While it is known for its spring, fall, and winter blooms, it has the potential to flower year-round indoors. Consistent light and proper care are the primary factors in maintaining this continuous floral display.
