Incarvillea (Hardy Gloxinia)
2 products
Incarvillea’s trumpet-shaped summer blooms (June – August) are a magnet for long-tongued bumblebees (Bombus hortorum) and hummingbird hawkmoths (Macroglossum stellatarum), which thrive on their nectar-rich flowers. The plant’s fern-like foliage provides shelter for ground beetles and spiders, while its deep taproot improves soil structure. Ideal for sunny, well-drained borders, Incarvillea pairs beautifully with drought-tolerant natives like Scabiosa columbaria to create pollinator hotspots. Though non-native, its extended flowering period and drought resilience make it a valuable ally in climate-adaptive gardens, supporting insects during peak summer heat when other plants may wilt.
