How to recognise it

Small star-shaped five-petalled flowers
Soft fuzzy stems and leaves covered in fine hairs
Flowers often blue to soft lilac-blue in the species type
Thin wiry branching stems
Heart-shaped downy leaves

Care

Recut stems and place in clean water; strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline. Handle gently as stems and petals bruise easily. Keep away from ripening fruit and other ethylene sources, as flowers are sensitive to it. Keep in a cool, draught-free spot out of direct sun.
