Blue Mars' is a fancy, ruffled form of Streptocarpus, an African Violet relative that grows in mountainous, wooded ravines in South Africa, shaded from the heat and intensity of the sun. It's an easy-to-care-for houseplant in bright but indirect light. Water when the soil feels slightly dry and fertilize twice a month, and you will be rewarded with a long display of purplish blue flowers. Includes a 7" woven basket cachepot.
