Incarvillea delavayi
HARDY GLOXINIA
SKU: 675D-10
This is probably the plant in our yard, that most looks like it can't be overwintered here, but it can! Gorgeous pink-red trumpet-shaped flowers with orange and yellow throats, are held high on strong stems, above thick, tropical-looking ferny leaves! Plants form tidy clumps, and are never invasive. In zones 5-7, Hardy Gloxinia like to be planted in a fully sunny location. In zones 8-10, they like to have morning and/or evening sun, but be sheltered from the mid-day sun.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 16" leaves, 24" flowers
Location: Sun, or part sun in hot climates (see notes above).
Hardiness zones: 5-10
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Sow the seeds on the surface a seed-start mix and water in. Do not bury the seeds as they require light to germinate. Keep lightly moist and do not let the soil dry out. Keep at 20-22 °C, 68-72 °F. Seeds germinate in 10-30 days.
