Calceolaria Mexicana Slipperwort Pale Yellow Summer Flower Plant
SLIPPERWORT
Calceolarias are difficult to combine with other plants because of their bright colors. The pale yellow flowers of Calceoraria mexicana appear to be no exception until you see them in a border with foliage plants, or on the rough banks of a stream. In that kind of position, the small flowers will light up like Chinese lanterns. They are only V4 in wide and are suspended gracefully from slender red-tinged stems.
Depending on its position, the plant will grow up to 8-20 in tall and will be tallest in shady, damp, and/or nutritive places. This calceolaria is native to the forested mountain slopes of Mexico. It likes warmth, but tolerates blistering sunshine only in moist positions, where it will also seed on a massive scale.
