Freely produced blooms are fuzzy with spotted throats, and leaves are lush and velvety. Care same as for violets, and they do very well in windows (where we grow most of our mature plants), where they will tolerate conditions that others will not. They also make excellent "cut flowers"--just put stems in a vase with water where they will continue to grow and bloom (in water) almost indefinitely!
