Jovellana violacea is a semi-evergreen shrub from southern Chile, grown for its pale violet, spotted bell-shaped flowers in summer. Give it full sun, well-drained loamy soil, and winter shelter from frost.
Jovellana violacea, also known as the violet teacup flower or violet slipper flower, is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Calceolariaceae. It is native to Chile.
This plant can be propagated with cuttings in summer.
It should be grown in loamy, well-drained, soil while under full, direct sunlight. It can be grown in both slightly acidic or alkaline soils. During the winter, it should be sheltered because even though this species is somewhat hardy, it is not tolerant of below-freezing temperatures.
There are no known adverse effects associated with toxicity from J. violacea.
