Gloxinia (Sinningia) Sonata Red (Соната Красная) Gloxinia hybrida. A new cultivar of Gloxinia plant named ‘Sonata Red’ that is characterized by large green leaves and red flowers. ‘Sonata Red’ is a hybrid that originated from the hybridization of the female or seed parent a proprietary Sinningia speciosa cultivar named ‘A’ (not patented) and the male or pollen parent a proprietary Sinningia speciosa cultivar named ‘DSR001’ (not patented). Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Sonata Red’ first occurred by tissue culture in 2003 in Lochristi, Belgium. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
