An unusual shade-loving perennial from China. In late autumn, foxglove-like flowers, are produced on top and between, the glossy, tough foliage. Will gently spread by stolons. Happily growing in dry shade, but will take a more moisture-retentive soil. Hardy, even though in the Gesneriaceae family, along with Gloxinia, Sinningia, Asteranthera.
Hemiboea strigosa
False sinningia
