The glowing white flowers, which usually appear non-stop over several months, are accentuated by a soft, lemon-yellow eye. They really stand out against the backdrop of rich green foliage, and could be cut and added to fresh flower arrangements. A strong-growing plant, 'Albatross' would be a great option if you are just starting to grow these wonderful plants.

We’re proud to support our British growers, and having been raised by one of our trusted UK nurseries, this indoor plant has a low carbon footprint, which makes it perfect for an eco-friendly collection or gift.


  • Home care:
    Throughout the growing season, keep them quite well watered, but as they are sensitive to overwatering, allow the compost to get a little dry in between; during this time they should also be fed with a high potash fertiliser. Remove spent flowers as they fade and trim back any old leaves that are past their best. Overwinter on a south or west-facing windowsill and water less often. Repot each spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot filled with fibre-based compost. They can also be used as summer bedding - grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.
