Sinningia tubiflora, Hardy White Gloxinia

Very long, pendent, creamy-white flowers curve slightly upward to show off their flared flat opening—so sweetly fragrant in mid-to-late summer! The leaves are attractive, too, crimped and slightly bluish because they're felted. Sinningia works as a pot specimen or outside with at least 6 hours of sun, in either case, this Argentinian likes well-draining soil. A hardy exotic? Yes! Mature size: 2 ft T x spreading Minimum temperature: 0° F
