Gloxinia's
Gloxinias are easy to grow from bulbs. The great news is that once you have a mature gloxinia plant, it can live for years and will produce more flowers in succeeding years. Gloxinia plants make a great house plant in addition to planting out in your garden. Originally from Brazil, Gloxinias will flower all summer long indoors and boast an evergreen foliage.
If planting out in the garden, you should wait until spring when the soil begins to warm up and there is no risk of frosts. They like partial sun best and will flower from May all the way through until the end of October. Popular plants include Kaiser Friedrich, Kaiser Wilhelm, or the velvet like Violacea, browse the full range below.
