Everblooming, long red tubular flowers make this gesneriad outstanding in its class. Its compact growth of 12” tall or less makes ‘Prudence Risley’ highly desirable for any windowsill or small space garden. This hard-to-find gesneriad only requires partial sun and does quite well in a north, east or west window.
(aka: Sinningia longituba) One of the real joys of gardening is finding a plant that you think can't be hardy and then discovering that it becomes an easy-to-grow staple in your garden. Such is the case with the hardy gloxinia, Sinningia tubiflora. Forming large underground tubers, Sinningia tubiflora not only lives, but spreads nicely in our rock garden. All summer long, the green, felty leaf clumps are topped with 20" tall spikes of 6" long, very fragrant, pure white flowers...somewhat resembling Hosta plantaginea. The hummingbirds and visitors alike go nuts when they see this in our gardens. You must grow this plant, even if you have to use containers in the North.

Sinningia bullata is a fun and unique looking plant to have at home. It’s relatively easy to grow. The flowers are red/orange tubes, whose faces are dotted with darker red dots. What’s unique about this plant though is the white woolliness that covers the under-leaves, newly formed flower buds and flower stems. It’s interesting to look … Continue reading Sinningia bullata →
Look how happy my sinningia pusilla is! There are over 15 open flowers on it right now. If you look up on the shelf behind it, you can also kinda see my other two micro sinns--'Wood Nymph' on the right, and "Rio Das Padres" on the left (which Lenny informed me last night has officially had its name changed to muscicola, but good luck remembering that!) Amazing how taking them outta the neglected condiment-cups-inside-GladWare®-setup could make such a huge difference. I used to only get one flower at a time, if that. And in the case of "Rio Das Padres" (Oops, I mean muscicola!) I only had a sad tuber with no plant for the better part of a year until I repotted. I now have them in these glass votive candle holders I got at an arts & crafts store, and I leave plastic wrap over the tops to keep the humidity up--except when I see lotsa condensation on the glass, I lift a corner and let it clear up a bit. I dunno if it's necessary, but it makes for better viewing. The plastic wrap ain't pretty, but the flowers sure are! My only worry is drainage... do they need it? Should I have put a layer of charcoal on the bottom, under the potting mix? Time will tell, I suppose--unless you tell me first! Anyhooz, now I want NEED more micro sinningias. Looking online at pics I'm drooling over concinna, pusilla 'White Sprite', 'Star Eyes', 'Snowflake', 'Little Tiger', 'Carefree's Regina', 'Hircon', 'Razzmatazz'.... and others, I'm sure! Oh dear, I feel another addiction coming on... Someone help, quick--Send babies from the above list! Argh, so much for not letting the "weeds" (aka gesneriads) invade my African violet collection!

Sinningia sellovii, commonly known as Hardy Gloxinia or Sello's Sinningia, is a tuberous perennial plant native to Brazil. Here is a detailed description: Morphology Leaves: The plant has large, velvety, green leaves that are typically ovate to elliptical in shape. The leaves grow in a rosette pattern from the base of the plant and can reach up to 8 inches (20 cm) in length. Flowers: Sinningia sellovii produces tubular, bright red to orange flowers that are about 2 inches (5 cm) long. The flowers are borne on long, slender stems and have a slightly flaring opening. They are highly attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Tuber: The plant forms a large, underground tuber which stores nutrients and water, allowing it to survive dry periods. Habitat Range: Native to the rocky outcrops and grasslands of Brazil, particularly in regions with a pronounced dry season. Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy, or rocky soils. Climate: Thrives in warm climates and can tolerate dry conditions due to its tuberous nature. Uses Ornamental: Popular in gardens and as a potted plant due to its vibrant flowers and attractive foliage. It is suitable for rock gardens and container gardening. Hummingbird Gardens: Frequently used in gardens designed to attract hummingbirds. Growth and Care Watering: Requires moderate watering. It is important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to prevent tuber rot. Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial. Temperature: Hardy to USDA zones 7-10. Can tolerate mild frost but should be protected from severe cold. Propagation Division: Can be propagated by dividing the tubers. Seeds: Can also be grown from seeds, though tuber division is more common and faster. Special Features Drought Tolerance: The large tuber allows the plant to survive extended dry periods by storing water and nutrients. Pollinator Friendly: The bright, tubular flowers are particularly attractive to hummingbirds and bees. Ecological Importance Wildlife Habitat: Provides nectar for hummingbirds and other pollinators. Sinningia sellovii is a striking and resilient plant that adds a splash of color to gardens and containers. Its adaptability and ease of care make it a valuable addition to a variety of landscapes.
