Cultivation:
As with all the other Hardy Gloxinia's plant Snowtop in a protected
area in partial sun in moist, fertile,
well drained soil.
"Snowtop Gloxinia" should be mulched
for winter protection. Avoid planting them in areas that stay wet
over the winter. Snowtop Gloxinia's are excellent grown in containers, and could
be moved indoors to a sun room or greenhouse at the end of the growing
season then moved back outdoors come spring.
Snowtop Gloxinia flowers are good for cutting and adding to
fresh flower arrangements.
Propagation:
Purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden Center. Plant
Snowtop Gloxinia in a permanent location as their large tap roots dislike
being disturbed once established.
Potential pests ~ diseases:
Slugs.
