Lofos Wine Red, also known as Creeping Gloxinia, is an annual flowering plant native to Mexico and Guatemala. Suntory developed this variety for superior vigor, self-branching, and early flowering. This plant offers a trailing habit of 8-12" tall and an 18-36" spread, with 3" long, red, trumpet-shaped flowers blooming from spring through fall. Lophospermum excels in hanging baskets, window boxes, and vining up trellises, flourishing in full or partial sun with moderate water. This hybrid requires no deadheading for continuous blooming. Grow alongside Lofos White for an attractive color combination, or try Lofos Compact Rose for a compact variety well-suited for small baskets.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Lofos Wine Red, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5, average daily temperatures of 60-76, and medium feed (150-250 ppm N). Pinch small containers once or twice and 10-inch baskets two or three times. Alternatively, grow plants trained up a wire trellis. This plant doesn't require PGRs and isn't prone to disease. You may see aphids, thrips, whiteflies, mites, slugs, and snails.
Flowering
Red, 3" long, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom from spring through fall.
Pinching
Pinch one to three times depending on the size of the finished container.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Height Control
This plant doesn't require PGRs.
Pests
You may see thrips, aphids, whiteflies, mites, slugs, and snails.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease. Don't overwater, which can lead to root rot and fungal infections. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Lofos Wine Red Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use a well-drained soil and completly bury the ellepot in the center or evenly spaced in the container. Pinch 4-inch pots once or twice. Pinch 10-inch baskets two or three times.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
