Know before you buy
This plant thrives in partial sun. Place it in a bright, indirect light location, such as an east-facing window, to encourage the best flower production.

The ‘Roulette Cherry’ is a compact grower, typically reaching a mature height of 6 to 12 inches. Its small stature makes it an excellent choice for windowsills or tabletops.
Under optimal indoor conditions—consistent light, proper watering, and stable temperatures—this hybrid is capable of producing flowers year-round. Regular deadheading of spent blooms can help encourage continuous flowering.
