Sinningia warmingii

Sinningia warmingii is a widespread tuberous gesneriad of South America that produces upright stems with tubular red flowers. It grows from a tuber that can go dormant in the cooler, drier months, so it is grown like other tuberous sinningias: warm and bright in the growing season, rested almost dry in winter.
