cupreata


The species many people know as the "chocolate soldier" or "flame violet" plant, it is in the parentage of many episcia hybrids.  A lovely plant with quilted, chocolate leaves having broad silver veining in center and orange-red blooms.  An easy grower than can make a spectacular display.

Cupreata

Love this Espicia! Beautiful blooms. Will buy again from Violet Barn! They packages plants really good. Great African Violets too! TAKE A LOOK!!

Episcia cupreata is a visual feast!

Can be grown as an hanging basket, or with a little judicious pruning of runners can be grown as a more contained and mounded plant in a broad, flat saucer of bulb pan. Easier culture than most - don't overlook this variety if you are just starting out with episcias.

So happy to have a Cupreata again!

Was given an Episcia long, long ago and loved it! It was such a beautiful plant but unfortunately it didn't survive my move to foggy San Francisco. Thank you Violet Barn for cultivating these plants and for the careful packaging. It arrived just before a hot week in late June and it is bringing me such joy! It's been a little over a month since it arrived and the Cupreata looks happy and healthy. It has already developed two sets of leaves and the flowers look like they're ready to bloom. Definitely planning to purchase another plant to pair up in a terrarium for the winter. Thank you again for you passion for these plants!

Cupreata

This was the first Episcia that I grew. Beautiful rich looking leaves and very striking, abundant blooms.

1st but still a favorite

The first variety of episcia I owned and one of the few available that many years ago, but still remains one of my favorites.

A real eye catcher!

Episcia ‘Cupreata’ is absolutely beautiful! The stunning orange red flowers are a spectacular contrast with the bright foliage! A prolific bloomer. Beautiful plant in a terrarium. Easy to grow. Highly recommend. It’s been years since I’ve had one and I can hardly wait for my order!

Hearts Delight

Love the amazing variety of episcias found at Violet Barn. I ordered these for my daughter in Indiana because they are not easily found where she lives. They were packed with precision and care and arrived perfectly. The plants you offer are young and healthy and grow into beautiful flowering delights!
