These flowers will knock your socks off!
I've never seen such over the top flowers as these. They're gorgeous! They remind me of a miniature peony the way they're so densely packed with petals. I wouldn't call the color ruby wine, though. Mine were a pretty straightforward purple. I'm sure there are color variations. Regardless, I'm super happy with this AV.
Absolutely Stunning!
I recently received my 2nd order, all of which arrived healthy and beautiful. This one clearly stood out amongst all others. It was blooming when it arrived, and the color on these large blooms is truly stunning! I'm so in love with it!
Huge flowers
I bought the plant in the June 2021. I changed pot. I had first flowers in the August. It was only three flower-bearing stems, only eleven flowers. But the flowers were huge, almost 3"! Maybe it was the first, but flowers were not dark ruby-wine, it were violet color.
LE Chateau Briand
I enjoyed this for many years - the blooms were frequent and absolutely spectacular. I didn't pay close enough attention to my AVs when I moved a few years back and couldn't keep it going. I was so happy to see that VB still carries it. This one is as fabulous as the first, and I cannot wait to see it bloom!
elegant flower
this is an elegant plant, with HUGE blooms and lovely foliage. get it, you'll be glad you did
Great contrasts
I bought this plant in 2019 and it did not do so well for me and finally died. I was able to put down a leaf before I lost it and surprisingly the babies off the leaf have down beautifully. The plant that formed has lovely medium green leaves that contrast beautifully to show off the darker ruby-wine blooms. I debuted it to encourage more leaf growth and see it is trying to produce 4 more bloom stocks. It is a lovely plant.
Blooming Quickly!
I am not an experienced plant grower, by any stretch of the imagination. I decided I wanted some flowering plants in the house, that would be easy to take care of and cat friendly, should somebody choose to chew on one. So after researching some violets, I decided to go with Violet barn, and I am happy I did! This plant was my first purchase, and I couldn't be more thrilled with its progress in the last month. It's in a window that isn't particularly sunny during the winter, but it already has sprouted several flowers and is looking extremely healthy. I will definitely be purchasing more varieties!
LOVE!!
Chateau Briand is an absolutely spectacular plant. The wavy apple green foliage shapes up very well. Breathtaking blooms. With age, has done well under my LED lights. Would suggest letting it grow for several months near a window & letting it mature a bit before putting under LEDs though. When young, it had a tendency to bleach/burn easily even under the special dimmable leds I use for young plants. Luckily I keep an eagle eye on all my AVs & moved Chateau Briand to a bright window as soon as I noticed. Now she thrives under the LEDs!
Beautiful flower
I haven't had this plant for very long, but it is already blooming. What a lovely, large flower it has! If you like elegant looking flowers, this one's for you!
Highly Recommended
I bought LE Chateau Briand from Violet Barn in May, 2018 when I attended the National Convention in Buffalo, NY. Unfortunately, it soon developed a tight crown and the leaves became stiff and brittle. I lost that plant but I saved two leaves, washed them in the sink with hot running water, as hot as my fingers could stand, thinking I might kill any pest that caused the demise of the mother plant. Well almost 2 years later, I have 4 mature plants in bloom and a few babies developing. I like that they are rather compact - in their 2 1/2 inch pots, they measure 9 inches in diameter. I know I am underpotting but it is the only way I can fit all my AV’s in my light stand. Each plant is naturally symmetrical with light to medium lime-green, wavy leaves. The deep red fluffy flowers with white borders are big, ranging from 2 to 2 1/2 inches. Each strong stalk supports 2-3 heavily doubled flowers straight up above the foliage without bending down. A beautiful and a highly recommended variety!
Pretty
This one was a freebie, I was surprise I got this one for free, the foliage is wavy lime green and the flowers are very dark purple with a lime green thin edge, one of my favorite.
Beautiful violet!
I ordered LE Chateau Briand several weeks ago, along with a number of other violets. It arrived with one full bloom and another bud that will likely bloom within the next week. It is absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful foliage
My violet just arrived and it looks healthy and beautiful! I love wavy medium green leaves, they are my favorite! I can't wait until this one blooms.

Nice, nice plant. Mine blooms less red-looking than the photo; the color looks more like the 'malachite orchid'. As always, came very well packaged and in great shape.
Striking!
The rich color and sharp edge make the large blooms on this one really striking! Foliage is a plain medium green, but shapes pretty nicely.
