A perennial tuber, and relative of African violets, gloxinia can be grown as a houseplant that is taken outdoors in the summer, or as a lush long-blooming annual. As a houseplant they need bright indoor light with no direct sunlight, and make sure to keep them moist. In the garden, avoid full-on afternoon sun to keep the dark green rosette of soft, fuzzy leaves from turning crispy. After the long flowering period ends, gloxinia plants shift into a 7 to 9 week dormancy where the plants die completely back. During this time, move any potted gloxinia plants into a cool area and limit watering and fertilization. Outdoors, the tubers must be lifted before a hard frost and brought into a cool, dry place for the dormancy period.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"There were 5 bulbs. 4 have bloomed. 3 solid purple and one solid red. Will the 5th be one that has the white fringe? Otherwise, then it wasn't much of a "mix Wouldn't allow me to add a photo."
"nice sized, healthy bulbs, plants are hardy, beautiful flowers"
