Great, fast growing caudiciform.  The picture is an example of the plants being sold.  The caudex is about 3.5″ wide, deeply furrowed, and covered flaky bark.  During active growth, the caudex sends out long, wiry stems covered with glossy, bright green, heart-shaped leaves.  Excellent container specimen.

Hardy Gloxinia.  Tuberous flower related to African Violets.  Forms a caudex and is frost tolerant if kept relatively dry in the winter.   Trumpet-shaped white flowers are very fragrant and prolific.  Attracts hummingbirds.  Zone 8 (if kept dry).
