Bolivian Sunset
Gloxinia is a stunning winter-flowering subshrub that produces sprays of
bold, red-orange flowers. These blooms are a delightful contrast to its
shiny, dark green leaves. Leaves are narrow lanceshaped or inverted-lanceshaped,
15 cm long 2-2.5 cm wide. Flowers are fiery, red-orange, tubular.
