  • 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.

    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 multi-purpose compost 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.
