Cultivation details
We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. There is some confusion over this name, could it be S. calceoliformis[270]. It dislikes shade, see the plants native range for other ideas on its cultivation needs.
