Cultivation:
Plant Hardy Gloxinia in a protected area in partial sun in moist, fertile,
well drained soil.
"Hardy Gloxinia" is marginally hardy and should be mulched for
winter protection. Avoid planting them in areas that stay wet over
the winter. They are excellent grown in containers, and could be moved to a sun room or greenhouse at the end of the growing
season. Hardy Gloxinia flowers are good for cutting for fresh
floral arrangements.
Propagation:
Purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden Center. Plant
your new Hardy Gloxinia plants in a permanent location as the large tap
root that develops dislikes
being disturbed.
