Rob's Shadow Magic

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

Pretty Foliage

I received this plant a few weeks ago, it was a healthy looking plant and was doing well. It is struggling now as I learn how to water the semiminiature and miniature violets compared to the standard violets. Remembering the not to water as much. The packaging by Barn Violet was very good as usual. I appreciate all the information the care of the violets and it was from this information that I figured out I was over watering my miniatures.

Beautiful!

Arrived in perfect condition, with three buds. It's unusual for me to stray from strictly minis/microminis, but I couldn't resist adding this one to my collection. Can't wait to see it bloom!

Shadow Magic!

I had this little gem years ago and recently purchased another. It has yet to bloom but the foliage on the plant has beautiful shades of green and gold. I can hardly wait for it to bloom as I remember the blossoms are a lovely deep blue.

My Favorite!

This is a wonderful plant! The color of the blooms contrasts perfectly with the lovely variegation. Very robust.

Love this plant!

I bought this from Violet Barn in 2014. It was one of my favorite plants! Beautiful contrast and hearty. Life happened last year and I lost it. Can't wait to have it back again!

Perfection!

Rob’s Shadow Magic arrived in perfect condition with many blooms. The dark purple flowers against the light, variegated leaves really make this plant pop! This was my first order from the Violet Barn and I was not disappointed. Beautiful plant and great service.

Simply Stunning!

Shadow Magic is a gorgeous plant. Variegation on the leaves is so beautiful, and the dark saturation of the blooms provide such eye catching happiness against the foliage. It's a dream to look at and just lovely! A Rob's must-have!

My first semimini

I was a little hesitant at first about the size of the plant.However, this plant is very handsome, the color of the blooms are a very deep violet blue and, just pops against the wonderful , green variegated leaves. I am glad I ordered it.

Beautiful contrast

I am a sucker for purple blooms, and so the variegated foliage gave me an excuse to buy yet another purple violet. Gorgeous flowers that delight my mother. Colors are vibrant and unique, and plants are healthy.

great little plant

I received this adorable plant october 2016. it has beautiful symmetry.. no blooms yet (one month) but it is very healthy and happy. the oldest leaves are solid green, but the newest ones are coming in with beautiful patterning. It seems to be a bit more sensitive to high light then my other (non variegated) mini violets.

tiny stunner!

I received my Rob's Shadow Magic in bloom and perfect! I love the contrast of the vibrant purple bloom and light green variegated leaves. So glad I picked this little sweet pea! This was part of my first Violet Barn order and am so impressed with the plants and that everything arrived in perfect condition. Thank you!

Love Rob's Shadow magic

I grew this plant years ago, had to quit growing violets for several years. Now once again I have violet fever!Had to get Rob's Shadow magic right away. I love the color of the blooms, beautiful blue and the variegation of the the leaves is awesome!!

Vibrant

The double blue flowers contrasting with the strong variegation make this violet the star of the windowsill. I love everything about it.

best in blue

One of the prettiest blues I have ever seen, I now have a second generation from it, and what a show stopper! Very recommended plant!

Great plant!

Great little plant that has beautiful variegation. I can't wait for it to flower!

Rob's Shadow Magic

I have had this plant for a long time. It is beautiful, even when it isn't blooming. The variegated leaves are lovely.

Donna Apr 22 2013, 14:09 PM

Beautiful

After waiting for what seemed like a long time, I finally got my first bloom from this violet. And I must say, it was as stunning as described. And the leaves by themselves give a beautiful display. Love this little violet.

One of Rob's Best

I grow many of Rob's violets and I must say that this cultivar is one of the best. The deep blue-violet flowers are spectacular over the beautiful variegated foliage. The plant blooms early and continually and shapes itself into a show plant with little effort. A must-have in my collection.

Rob's Shadow Magic

Rob's Shadow Magic has been a favorite semiminiature in my AV collection for a long time. It's striking color contrast is so pretty! It is a happy little plant that is easy to grow. I recommend it for anyone new to raising violets!

a thriving survivor

Easy Grower, Love the contrasting dark blossoms over the lighter variegated foliage. I just started growing recently and this violet is one that was able to survive my earlier unrefined growing methods (soil to heavy, too much light), where other violets weren't able to. This one has a permanent spot on my shelf.
