Plant Overview
A remarkable alpine, not often seen, with very unusual yellow flowers with dark brown spots in the throat. Each flower looks like a pouch or slipper and is very memorable. A real talking point. Each stem has two flowers, hence the name - biflora.
Native to Chile and Argentina.
Prefers lightly shaded conditions and slightly moist soil that doesn't dry out.
Forms low, compact rosettes of hairy leaves from which tall thin stems hold the flowers. Will self-seed but in a well-behaved way.
Height: 15cm
Common name(s): Pocketbook Flower, Slipper Flower, Lady's Purse, Slipperwort
