  • Gloxinia 'Blanche de Meru' is a real showstopper, celebrated for its sizable, plush flowers. These blossoms are a vivid pink, with a clean white centre that commands attention. The trumpet-shaped petals rise above the rich, green foliage, presenting a display that's both striking and graceful, a blend of energy and sophistication. This particular variety flowers all summer long, bringing warmth and a burst of colour to any indoor space.

  • Compact and simple to care for, 'Blanche de Meru' is an excellent choice for indoor cultivation. It thrives on windowsills, in conservatories, or anywhere with good light, where you can really see the striking colour contrast up close. Despite its showy appearance, gloxinia is surprisingly easy to grow, which makes it a good option for gardeners of all levels who enjoy flowering houseplants.

  • These plants are grown from bulbs, or tubers, and can be rested and reused each year. After the flowers die, the plant goes dormant, allowing the bulb to be stored and brought back to life the following year. This cycle makes gloxinia a long-lasting and satisfying addition to any indoor plant collection.

    • Light Required Indirect light or light partial shade

    Watering Water carefully during active growth, keeping compost evenly moist but not waterlogged

    Best Growing Conditions Start Gloxinia Blanche de Meru bulbs indoors in spring, planting them shallowly in free-draining, peat-free compost. Place in a bright position with indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist during growth. Avoid direct sunlight and cold drafts. After flowering, reduce watering as the foliage dies back and store bulbs dry and frost-free until the next season.
