Sinningia 'Pretty bell' (Caudex)

Elegant succulent not present in nature, but obtained in the nursery from the crossing between several exemplars of Sinningia to give life to a new plant whose name "pretty bells" refers to the extraordinary appearance of its bell-shaped flowers, characterized by long floral tube that opens at the apex showing graceful shades or dots matching the bright colors of the petals. The plant is characterized by a kind of tuberous caudex, often underground, which stores nutrients necessary to keep it alive even during the vegetative rest period, when Sinningia loses the majestic foliage finely adorned with a thick down that makes its dark green almost reflected silver under the sun!
