Compact, autumn-flowering bedding plants offering distinctive colour, strong container performance and excellent versatility for pots, planters, patios and balconies. Calceolaria Calynopsis is selected for its unique slipper-shaped blooms, tidy growth habit and dependable performance in cool-season planting.

Calceolaria Calynopsis is a modern hybrid Slipper Flower, producing inflated, pouch-shaped blooms with an orchid-like appearance in rich shades of red, orange, yellow, pink and bicolour combinations. The unusual flower form adds texture and visual interest, making it a standout choice for seasonal container displays and sheltered outdoor spaces.

Naturally compact and uniform, Calceolaria Calynopsis forms neat, mounding plants reaching approximately 20–30cm tall and wide. This balanced growth habit makes it ideal for small pots, window boxes and mixed containers, and easy to combine with other cool-season bedding plants for clean, professional planting schemes.

Supplied as strong, garden-ready live plants with generous 1L rootballs, Calceolaria establishes quickly when potted on or planted into containers. Strong root development reduces transplant shock and supports reliable growth, flowering and consistent presentation throughout the autumn and early-season period.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, Calceolaria Calynopsis thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moist, well-drained compost. Regular watering and occasional feeding support healthy growth and prolonged flowering, while light deadheading helps maintain a neat appearance and extend the display.
