A number of variants appear with Trumpet Pinky, the main ones are this blue and a pink form, the blue form is slightly smaller with shorter leaves and produces heads 8 to 12 cm across growing on a short upright stem. Slow growing, once mature offsets may be produced.

Position - full sun or partial shade under cover. Only in pots and must be kept out of the cold winter rains, plants can easily rot if to wet. Indoors only in very sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the winter months. Some create tighter leaves in summer and slow down growth to conserve moisture.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting
