Posted by plantladylin (Sebastian, Florida - Zone 10a) on Nov 30, 2012 12:11 PM Related to the African Violet, Gloxinella lindeniana is in the Gesneriad family of plants, and like other Gesneriads it prefers bright light and a well draining potting medium. [ 3 replies | |
Posted by carpathiangirl (Akron, OH - Zone 6a) on Apr 10, 2018 8:01 PM Yes, the flowers are fragrant -- lovely sweet aroma reminds me of that of Salvia clevelandii, which I admire. The flowers look very pretty against soft velvety painted foliage. Beautiful plant that performs well for me on the windowsill without any special care or protection, stays compact and spreads rather slowly but stays healthy and blooms well for several weeks now since February. Looks like it's about to produce a few seedpods, which will be totally new for me because my plant is less than 2 y. o. [ Reply to this comment | |
