Incarvillea delavayi

Incarvillea delavayi, the so‑called hardy gloxinia or flowering fern, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to western Sichuan and northwest Yunnan provinces of China.

[1][2] The true Gloxinia are members of the Gesneriaceae,[3] while true ferns are flowerless plants which reproduce through spores.

[4] A slug‑prone perennial with fern‑like leaves, it is hardy in USDA zones 5b through 7, and is recommended for borders and rock gardens in part shade to full sun.

[5] The original species and a number of cultivars are commercially available, including 'Bees Pink' and 'Snowtop'.
