Native to central Asia, this is a taller relative of the plants commonly grown as "hardy gloxinias" (I. delavayi and I. mairei grandiflora). Although one plant lived in an area near our patio for a full second season, I never noticed it blooming. Luckily, it's coming back for a third year. Regrowth in spring is fairly early - the photo here was taken April 19th.
