I've recently started with this species from seed. Still growing a good tuber at this point. It didn't like the conditions I had it in for a time and it stalled, but now it's growing well.

So cute! Love the fuzziness. I've never had any experience with this kind of plant but it looks lovely.

Years ago had sinningia "White Sprite". Would like to have it again but in the mean time I have to say, I have never seen anything like this fuzzy plant!--Rosie

My own S. leucotricha is budding up.... :D

Thanks, everyone! Do any of you have a feel for how long Sinningia leucotricha seeds remain viable?

Here are couple views of this plant today. Enjoy!

Wow that is gorgeous!!! I am really out of touch with sininngia varieties. I really do like this one! Still never seen anything so fuzzy!!! Rosie

Rosie, S. hatschbackii is also pretty hairy... coarser, longer strands than this, and the foliage is green. I will try to find a pic of mine.
I fell for leucotricha years ago, when I saw Jon D's specimen. It had an enormous tuber, and the herbaceous growth looked to me like a small forest. The surface of the tuber had a sort of stonelike appearance, more smooth than the plant I've got.
The one shown here is really nice, I like seeing it bloom this early, and it looks like there's plenty more to come.
I've not a clue about how long the seeds remain viable, so sorry.
