A tropical plant with soft, velvety leaves and colorful bell-shaped flowers that come in shades of pink, purple, red, and white.
Named after Benjamin Peter Gloxin, an 18th-century German botanist. The scientific name honors Gloxin's contributions to plant cultivation and taxonomy.
Gloxinias are incredibly popular as houseplants because their flowers are absolutely stunning, but they're finicky—they hate cold drafts, prefer high humidity, and will drop their buds if you look at them wrong.
