Incarvillea delaveyi--Hardy Gloxinia, Trumpet Flower
Hardiness Zones: 5 to 7
Height: 18 in Spread: 18 in
Type: herbaceous perennial
Flowers: Pink
Comments: Hardy Gloxinia produces large, 3-inch, trumpet-
shaped flowers (Vis. 1) in clusters of 8 to 10 blooms.
Blooming may be prolonged if the fading flowers are removed.
Flowering occurs in June and July. The plant needs a
protected site and winter protection. Although division
is a possible method of propagation it should be avoided
if possible as the plants grow best when undisturbed.
Propagation: Divide them in the spring or use seed. A
long taproot may make division difficult.
