Sinningia Brocade Purple - Gloxinia Sonata with purple double flower
Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa) is a very popular houseplant. The large, bell-shaped flowers tower above the silky leaves of this bulbous plant, native to Brazil and related to the African violet.
Gloxinia needs water, but it will never tolerate water on the leaves or the flower crown. Give the plant the moisture it needs by placing a saucer full of water under the pot.
This plant is available in shades of purple, red and white. Please specify the desired color when confirming the order.
