The compact, 1' tall x 4' wide mass of short stems, bearing soft green foliage, is topped, starting in August, with 1\" long bells of the most brilliant orange-red we have ever seen on anything other than a custom Ferrari. For us, flowering attracts hummingbirds and continues until frost. Gloxinia nematanthodes also spreads by above-ground stolons, soon making a wonderful groundcover.

Although it emerges very late, usually around July 1 (NC), Gloxinia 'Little Red' is a showstopper from mid-summer until frost. The dark cinnamon stems are clothed with thumb-sized, bronzy green leaves. Each leaf axil is home to small, tubular, scarlet-orange flowers...a favorite of hummingbirds as well as two-legged garden visitors. Gloxinia 'Little Red' is quite vigorous and makes a 16\" tall x 3' wide patch in 4 years.
