This is a very floriferous variety with medium-sized small white flowers. The lower three lobes are covered with fine deep blue veins. The narrow, lance-shaped leaves form a very attractive rosette, making 'Crystal Ice' an exceptionally beautiful plant. Grown for their showy flowers, these tender perennials make superb houseplants. They will flower from mid-spring to mid-autumn and tend to bloom more prolifically when slightly pot-bound.

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.
