QUALITY GUARANTEED

  • Gloxinia Etoile de Feu is a real head-turner, a bulb that unleashes a display of sizable, plush blooms in a rich, fiery red. These trumpet-shaped flowers stand tall above the soft, textured green leaves, creating a striking contrast that guarantees this variety will be the centre of attention when it's in full flower. It blooms all summer long, bringing warmth and vibrant colour to any indoor setting.

  • This compact variety thrives indoors, making it an excellent choice for windowsills, conservatories, and any bright room where its eye-catching flowers can be enjoyed up close. Gloxinia Etoile de Feu may seem high-maintenance, but it's surprisingly simple to grow, and it rewards even the slightest care with a spectacular display of blooms.

  • This specific type, cultivated from tubers, is a perennial. You may allow it to rest, then revive it season after season. After the blooms wither, the plant enters dormancy, allowing you to save the bulb and encourage its return the following year. It's a plant that keeps on giving, both in terms of its beauty and its lifespan.

    • 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 Etoile de Feu 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. Reduce watering after flowering and store bulbs dry and frost-free once the foliage dies back.
