Achimenes hybrida
Description
A rhizomatous perennial plant, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. It therefore thrives in warm weather, flowering from June to September. In summer, it can be placed outdoors on the balcony but should be sheltered from direct sunlight, particularly during the middle of the day, or kept in the shade when outdoor temperatures remain above 15–16°C. It is also suitable for indoors, in a very bright room.
