They are valued for their abundant and long-lasting flowering: the flowers can be single, semi-double, or double, in a varied palette of colors (blue, violet, pink, red, white, yellow). The leaves are velvety, deep green, often with slightly scalloped or wavy edges, forming a decorative rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThey need good but filtered (indirect) light.
