  • Gloxinia Kaiser Friedrich is a real head-turner, a tuberous plant renowned for its lavish, velvety blossoms. These flowers are a rich, crimson red, each petal trimmed with a crisp white. The trumpet-shaped blooms stand tall above a swath of soft, green leaves, creating a display that feels more suited to a florist's window than a standard living room. It flowers consistently all summer long, bringing a burst of colour and a hint of elegance to any area.

  • Despite its dramatic appearance, this Gloxinia is surprisingly easy to grow, as long as you give it the proper attention. This plant is a gift to gardeners, no matter their skill level. Its neatness ensures everything stays in order, and it rewards you with a stunning show of flowers.

  • Gloxinia 'Kaiser Friedrich' is grown from tubers. These tubers can be rested and then used again each year. After the blooms fade, the plant goes dormant, allowing the tuber to be stored and revived the following year. This makes it a gratifying and long-lasting choice for your garden.

    • 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 Kaiser Friedrich tubers indoors in spring, planting them shallowly in free-draining, peat-free compost. Grow in a bright position with indirect light, keeping the soil lightly moist during growth. Avoid cold drafts and direct sun. After flowering, reduce watering as the foliage dies back and store tubers dry and frost-free until the next growing season.
