Sinningia Tinkerbells (E. Jordan). Small narrow flower tube-shaped lilac-pink color, decorated in bright throat randomly spaced spots. The leaves are dark green small pubescent, compact rosette. Shoots semi hanging, abundant and almost continuous flowering. Semiminiature.
Sinningia 'Tinkerbells' is a hybrid of the microminiature S. concinna and the shrubby S. aggregata. It is intermediate in size between these very different plants, although the flower is much more reminiscent of the aggregata parent. 'Tinkerbells' is one of the best-loved of the older Sinningia hybrids. It has a pleasant upright habit, with some tendency to sprawl in other than bright light, soft fuzzy leaves of a pleasing green colour, and a profusion of bright lavender pink flowers held well above the foliage. It is fairly easy to grow under artificial light, and only requires regular watering and fertilizing to do well.
