Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae)

💔 When is the season for the Bleeding Hearts

  • ❣️ Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) is named for its red and white flowers that look like dangling hearts.
  • ❣️ Native to tropical West Africa, this climber thrives in bright light and can be grown as a houseplant or trained on a trellis.
  • ❣️ It shows off its most spectacular blooms in winter, but with enough light, it'll happily flower year-round.

Gloxinia sylvatica - Bolivian Sunset

🔥 Need a low growing show stopper that blooms like a winter fire?

  • 🔥 Spectacular show! Gloxinia sylvatica - Bolivian Sunset - is a very low-growing, an eye-catching, easy-care plant that delights with vibrant fire-red blooms.
  • 🔥 This fall-to-early-winter bloomer spreads quickly from rhizomes, forming a thick ground cover.
  • 🔥 Though it may die back in spring, it bounces right back once the rainy season arrives. As a bonus, you can share its beauty by gifting flowering starts from your own garden during the holidays!
  • 🔥 Whether you keep it as a houseplant or grow it outdoors in dappled shade with plenty of water, its dense leaves and flowers create a spectacular show.
