Sinningia leucotricha has unquestionably the best foliage of any sinningia. The silvery hairs cover the young leaves.
The tuber is a typical "bagel", with a raised rim and a knob at the center from which the shoots emerge.
This young plant has a tuber 2 cm in diameter. Note the juvenile foliage, with four pairs of leaves and indeterminate growth (that is, growth continuing from the shoot apex). A mature plant will have just two leaf pairs per stem, with flowers emerging from the shoot apex.
