Gardening Profits From Gloxinias
When it comes to growing for profit, gloxinias (sinningias) have two real advantages: They are among the showiest of flowering pot plants and they also make excellent “specializing” material. The heaviest flowering of these gesneriads occurs during the warm months, but staggered plantings will produce some flowers the year round, so plants are almost always salable. Colors range from purest white through blues and purples to the brightest red. There are selfs, bicolors, margined varieties, and some with speckles and dots. There are older varieties with narrow tubular throats and modern hybrids with large wide faces and nodding “slippers” large and small.
