Episcia ‘Blue Moon’
A Velvety Jewel with Rare Lavender-Blue Blooms
Episcia ‘Blue Moon’ is a captivating cultivar prized for its plush, velvety foliage and unusually colored flowers. The leaves form a low, spreading mat of soft green to bronze tones with a subtle sheen, making the plant attractive even when not in bloom. Trailing stolons allow it to gently cascade, making it ideal for shallow bowls, hanging containers, or the edge of a shelf.
What truly sets ‘Blue Moon’ apart are its delicate, tubular flowers in soft lavender to pale blue shades—an uncommon color in Episcia. The blooms appear intermittently throughout the growing season, hovering just above the foliage like small, luminous accents.
A member of the African violet family (Gesneriaceae), Episcia ‘Blue Moon’ thrives in warm conditions with bright, indirect light and evenly moist soil. It prefers higher humidity but adapts well to indoor environments, rewarding gentle care with steady growth and frequent flowering.
