Brazilian Edelweiss (Sinningia leucotricha)
Silvery-green, fuzzy leaves emerge on a short stem out of a large round tuber. The leaves are oval shaped and come in sets of 4. In spring and early summer, tubular reddish-orange flowers appear from the center of the leaf cluster. Keep the plant slightly moist but do not over water, and water the soil, not the leaves, to keep the leaves healthy. Grow in partial sun on an east or west windowsill. There is a winter dormancy when the leaves and stems die back into the tuber. Mist the soil sparingly during dormancy so the tuber does not dry out.
