  • Gloxinia Kaiser Wilhelm is a striking bulb, celebrated for its deep, royal purple flowers. These blooms, with their velvety texture, are beautifully contrasted by a delicate white edge. The sizable, trumpet-shaped blossoms stand tall above the soft, green leaves, resulting in a dramatic visual impact. This variety truly shines as a statement plant when in bloom, offering a burst of colour throughout the summer months, and adding depth to any indoor arrangement.

  • This compact gloxinia is well-suited for growing indoors, making it a perfect choice for windowsills, conservatories, shelves, and any room with ample light.

  • Its tidy form makes these plants easy to handle, yet they still put on a stunning show of blooms. Gloxinia 'Kaiser Wilhelm' is surprisingly simple to cultivate, even though it looks quite elegant, and it's a good choice for gardeners of any skill level.

  • Gloxinia is propagated from bulbs, or tubers, which can be rested and then used again. Once the flowers fade, the plant goes dormant, which allows the bulb to be stored and replanted the next year. This makes it a satisfying and enduring part of your indoor 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 Wilhelm bulbs 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 active 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.
