(aka: Seemannia nematanthodes 'Evita') This amazing 2004 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction from 4,000' elevation in Argentina is a great addition to our list of winter-hardy gesneriads. Gloxinia nematanthodes 'Evita' is late to emerge, usually June in NC. The compact, 1' tall x 4' wide mass of short stems, bearing soft green foliage, is topped, starting in August, with 1" long bells of the most brilliant orange-red we have ever seen on anything other than a custom Ferrari. For us, flowering attracts hummingbirds and continues until frost. Gloxinia nematanthodes also spreads by above-ground stolons, soon making a wonderful groundcover. If you like brilliant colors, grab your camera and sunglasses.

This superb hybrid of Sinningia warmingii x Sinningia tubiflora originated from an anonymous cross donated to the American Gesneriad Society's seed exchange. Sinningia 'Carolyn', named by John Boggan for New York gesneriad expert Carolyn Ripps, has been a fantastic performer in our trials since 2007. For us, it forms a 3' tall x 2' wide patch, which starts to spread in the third year, thanks to the Sinningia tubiflora parent. The 3' tall flower spikes, which first open in late June, are adorned with lightly fragrant, long-tubed, mauvy pink flowers with white throats. For us, Sinningia 'Carolyn' flowers throughout the summer...a superb selection!
This is a charming Primulina that features beautiful variegation of leaves and pretty flowers although there are a lot difference between clones. I got one small plant from a friend last year and recently it blooms. Mine is less variegated, quite miniature and the flower is pretty.
Look how happy my sinningia pusilla is! There are over 15 open flowers on it right now. If you look up on the shelf behind it, you can also kinda see my other two micro sinns--'Wood Nymph' on the right, and "Rio Das Padres" on the left (which Lenny informed me last night has officially had its name changed to muscicola, but good luck remembering that!) Amazing how taking them outta the neglected condiment-cups-inside-GladWare®-setup could make such a huge difference. I used to only get one flower at a time, if that. And in the case of "Rio Das Padres" (Oops, I mean muscicola!) I only had a sad tuber with no plant for the better part of a year until I repotted. I now have them in these glass votive candle holders I got at an arts & crafts store, and I leave plastic wrap over the tops to keep the humidity up--except when I see lotsa condensation on the glass, I lift a corner and let it clear up a bit. I dunno if it's necessary, but it makes for better viewing. The plastic wrap ain't pretty, but the flowers sure are! My only worry is drainage... do they need it? Should I have put a layer of charcoal on the bottom, under the potting mix? Time will tell, I suppose--unless you tell me first! Anyhooz, now I want NEED more micro sinningias. Looking online at pics I'm drooling over concinna, pusilla 'White Sprite', 'Star Eyes', 'Snowflake', 'Little Tiger', 'Carefree's Regina', 'Hircon', 'Razzmatazz'.... and others, I'm sure! Oh dear, I feel another addiction coming on... Someone help, quick--Send babies from the above list! Argh, so much for not letting the "weeds" (aka gesneriads) invade my African violet collection!
The only place you cannot find Gesneriads growing is Antarctica. The group of flora encompasses over 3,000 species. What are gesneriads? That is a hard question to answer because the group is so diver

No, not measles. But the intoxicating rosy pink spots inside the throat of a Gloxinia. I love the contrast between the spots on white and on the deeper pink. And all set off by shiny fuzzy hairs! Kohleria is a New World genus of the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The plants are generally tropical herbs or subshrubs with velvety stems and foliage and brightly colored flowers with spots or markings in contrasting colors. They are rhizomatous and commonly include a period of dormancy in their growth cycle. Because of their colorful and exotically patterned flowers, Kohlerias were very popular in England and Europe in the 19th Century. Many species and hybrids were lavishly illustrated in horticultural magazines of the day.

Kohleria: An almost indestructible flowering plant We grow a lot of kohleria. We like to say, "if you can't grow a kohleria, you can't grow anything". They are so easy, it's a bigger problem to keep them from growing! Kohleria are fast, vigorous, growers--don't be squeamish about cutting them back (and you'll have to). Left alone they will keep growing
