Not related to gloxinias, but rather to the Campsis and Bignonia family (trumpet vines), a showy perennial from high elevations in India, Tibet and China. Carrot-like roots are available from bulb-growers in autumn. Beautiful pink blooms appear in early summer.

'Snowtop', a white-flowering variety is also available.
