Red and white Gloxinia collection

Explore the magnificence of Gloxinia with our exclusive collection featuring Gloxinia 'Fire Star', 'Mont Blanc', and 'Kaiser Friedrich'. Each of these bulb varieties promises stunning summer blossoms. Renowned for their spectacular blooms and lush velvety dark green foliage, these compact plants reach a height of 30 to 35 cm and thrive in pots in semi-shaded positions. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil that stays moist from spring to late summer and then dries out in winter.

Included in the collection:

• 1 Gloxinia 'Fire Star': This variety captivates with its scarlet, intense red flowers, and striking contrast against the dark green foliage. With flowers reaching up to 10 cm in diameter, it makes a bold statement in any floral arrangement.

• 1 Gloxinia 'Mont Blanc': Distinguished by its graceful white flowers, this variety exudes elegance and serenity as delicate petals complement the dark foliage in a perfect contrast.

• 1 Gloxinia 'Kaiser Friedrich': Uniquely combining red and white, this variety features majestic bi-coloured flowers that will enchant enthusiasts of subtle shades.

To plant your Gloxinia collection, opt for spring planting in semi-shaded pots or indoors for early blooms. Space each bulb at least 20 to 30 cm apart when planting and bury them to a depth of about 5 cm. Consider alternating the varieties to create a harmonious colour scheme, keeping to one or two plants per pot, depending on the pot size.

Gloxinia are not only striking indoor plants but are also resilient and easy to care for during the winter in a dry environment, even indoors. Their theatrical appearance sets them apart from other plants, making them ideal for displays in planters and on shaded window sills. They serve as a perfect replacement for geranium in areas where direct sunlight is limited. Find out more about gloxinias here.
