Calceolaria Biflora - Goldcap. Aka: Pocketbook flower, Slipper flower, Slipperwort, Purse flower. Native to Chile and Argentina, comes a showy and charming clump forming perennial. Low growing rosette of light green hairy leaves produces numerous wiry stems holding puffy pouch-like bright yellow flowers sprinkled with red dots.

It is cold hardy and will possibly last TEN years if grown in its happy place, in evenly moist well drained sandy soil. It is important to be mindful of standing water which will cause failure if unattended. If it is grown indoors in baskets or pots, it will require more watering. It is easy to grow and care for and is disease free, but snails and slugs love it. If you are searching for something unusual but gorgeous to spice up your garden, this is an excellent choice.
