  • 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.

    Watering Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. During active growth, water in prolonged dry spells so the soil stays lightly moist but never waterlogged. Once the foliage naturally dies back, reduce watering and allow the bulbs to rest more dryly.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in fertile loam in partial shade to gentle sun. Choose a position that does not stay waterlogged in winter, as good drainage helps bulbs return reliably. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.

    Top tip

    Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season. Protect it from frost and consider moving container-grown plants to a sheltered, frost-free position for winter.
