Sinningia leucotricha, also known as the Brazilian edelweiss or the white-haired Sinningia, is a species of perennial plant in the Gesneriaceae family. It is native to Brazil, where it is found growing in rocky outcrops and cliffs.
Sinningia leucotricha is known for its striking appearance, particularly its fuzzy, white-silvery leaves that give it a unique and appealing look. The leaves are covered in fine, white hairs, which help protect the plant from intense sunlight and reduce water loss.
In addition to its foliage, Sinningia leucotricha also produces beautiful tubular orange-red flowers that appear in clusters above the leaves. The flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, which are important pollinators for the plant.
In cultivation, Sinningia leucotricha is grown as an ornamental plant for its foliage and flowers. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. It is relatively easy to care for and can be grown indoors as a houseplant or outdoors in mild climates as a garden plant.
