CANNOT BELIEVE THE SIZE OF THE BLOOMS!
The most spectacular violet I have ever seen! Survives my love of over watering! A true Eye Catching Beauty!
Caught the hubby's eye
The husband who walks past my collection every day actually stopped to ask about this one! Mine has lived here about a month and grows in a north window. It transitioned beautifully to wick watering. As I write, I'm carefully evaluating its first blooms. Medium lavender, edged in gold. Stems strong and blooms held nicely above the foliage. Definitely showy and pretty! I've purchased for years from VB. I'm a loyal customer, confident in them.
Beautiful!!
Received this beautiful AV today this is my second AV from the Violet Barn love the care they take in shipping and so pleased with their service!!
Simply beautiful
This plant is a beautiful and hardy. I recommend this plant for a new people who just started to grow African varieties. It will never disappoint you.
Wow factor!
Most violets are pretty, but Blue Dragon is one of the few that makes you say, ‘Wow’. It stands out amongst other plants and is easily recognizable with its unique flowers. Even growing it in a window, it still blooms reliably and is a pleasure to behold. I consider it a must have for its beauty and ease of growing. I truly appreciate Robs’ for continually offering superior varieties like this one. You won’t be disappointed!
Must have for your collection
Beautiful huge blooms so glad I ordered this beauty!
Blue Dragon
My plants arrived, packed perfect as always. This Blue Dragon is in perfect shape. Can't wait for it to start blooming.
Cream of the ctop
This violet is truly one of the most beautiful violets! The blue color is stunning and its shape is perfect! It always is in blooms and it's one of the top performers in my collection.
Big Beautiful Blooms
Blue Dragon is one of my favorite violets. Its blooms are so big and beautiful whether grown warm or cool you won't be disappointed.
A Very Sturdy Hybrid
As other reviewers have said, if you're a show grower, Blue Dragon can be a bit finicky performance wise (she'll teach you how to treat her over time), BUT a of all the AV's I've grown, it does seem to be one of the hardest to accidentally kill also. It is a good window sill plant, for those just wanting a houseplant that blooms, hardy and easy to bring back from the edge when things seem to be going wrong. A great variety for beginners, and pro's alike. The blooms are long lasting, and spectacular.
Bold Blooms
I've been watching this one in my friend's collection for several years. Can't stand it any longer. so I'm ordering this beauty for myself. The blooms are huge!
Game of Thrones
I've had this AV growing in it's original pot for under 10 months...and this sleeping beauty was hiding the biggest bloom from me, and I water it every week! The blooms are definitely beyond being dragonly humongous. No seriously, don't second guess on Blue Dragon. I have a bloom that is over three inches -bigger than the original pot size, with several buds just waiting for me to watch him (yes, it's a him) play Game of Thrones with my AV collection. I have to thank Violet Barn and their blog tips, thank you VB!
amazing blooms
I received this plant from violet barn almost three years ago. It is beautiful, but is one of my more finicky plants for growth of leaves and number of blooms... but they are so pretty its worth it!
Beautiful
This plant has the most beautiful blooms!
Big, Huge, and Amazing
I got this violet in one of my first orders with the VB. This is one of the tougher violets and does grow quite large. Great looking blooms as well. I'm tempted to by another. Definitely recommended.
Lovely violet
Blue Dragon is a strong plant and a willing bloomer. The flowers have sturdy stems and are long lasting. everyone should have it in their collection.
One to remember
I originally got Blue Dragon over a decade ago, but had to give it up before a move. Even after all this time, this variety stands out in my memory as being a standout variety. Mine got to be huge, and the flowers are beautiful - and unique! One of these days, I am thinking I'll be needing to get it again.
Always a winner.
Blue Dragon is one that will never make you blue. It's a good reliable variety that catches everyone's eye.
Blue Dragon
I get more comments on this violet then any of the ones I grow. People cant believe the size of the flowers. Amazing how the stalks can hold the heavy flower heads
Prettier in person
Absolutely love this violet.
Unusual Beauty
I bought a Blue Dragon years ago and it was love at 1st bloom. This was a delightful violet with vigorous healthy dark green foliage and constant gorgeous blooms. The white edges looked more green to me. I enjoyed this violet very much. I wish I had a nice photo to share but unfortunately I do not. I say was because my flower loving 2 year old Grandson, my helper, decided to assist in cleaning up my violets while I wasn't looking. He removed (destroyed) all of the leaves shocking the plant so neither it or the leaves wouldn't survive. I have waited for this violet to become available again as everytime I look in the catalog I did not see it. Today I found it and am so thrilled that I have the oppertunity to replace my unusual Beauty.
Longtime Favorite
I have grown Blue Dragon since the year it was introduced and it will always be in my collection. What's not to love? Very strong plant with large, deep green leaves crowned by large, stunningly beautiful blooms. I have yet seen a picture that does it justice. It should be a must-have for anyone growing African violets.
Beautiful blooms but not a reliable bloomer
I love the blooms, but blooming is only intermittent and the plant is not covered as in the photos.
Pictures Don't Do It Justice
This is an old-time favorite of mine. I've never seen a photo that does the flowers justice. To say they are a rich saturated purple with a darker purple edge is, simply, not enough. You have to see the flowers to really appreciate them. I will always have this in my collection. Highly recommended.
Big and Healthy
I love the name which is part of why I bought this one. The plant has been very sturdy and has put out a few blooms within two months or so. For me, the blooms have been smaller but I'm still happy with the plant.
All time favorite!
I've had violet's from all over but there are certain one's that I always want in my collection and Blue Dragon is one of those. I haven't seen a picture that accurately depicts it's beauty. It's eye catching! One of those large, breath taking blooms you'll love.
Eye catching blloms
Blooms under less than perfect conditions the lovely blue blooms with the dark edge and white trim really catch your eye, it is rich looking. My blooms are up to 2 inches.
Beautiful, large violet!!!
This violet has lovely dark green leaves with dark red on the under side - a very rich looking and large plant!!! It blooms constantly, blooms that last a long time. I lost this plant during a move a few years ago and am so happy to have found it again!!!
Wonderful and healthy!
One of my favorites!
Blue dragon
This plant arrives in perfect condition, with blooms. Well packed. I ordered a couple of other plants too and they came also in bloom. Overall I am very happy. Thank you.
AMAZING!
I just received our shipment. ALL the plants we ordered (all 45) were received in amazing shape. Especially since they were shipped to Alaska from NY! I want to thank your company for being so reasonably priced (plants and shipping) and having such an amazing selection!
Outstanding plant
This plant is stunning,very easy to grow and a great bloomer!
a real winner
I first saw this at a violet show with lots of ribbons..mine has been a consistant bloomer that looks especially pretty under my floresant lights..
Blue Dragon
Blue Dragon is my favorite African violent plant. I had had it for many years ago and now I have it again. Thank you very much.
Trying Again
I was excited to get one of these but alas my plant seemed to have gone into shock during the shipping and I could not resuscitate it. So I am trying again hopefully I'll have better luck. Great packaging though.
Beautiful Plant
I grew this plant years ago. It did not only have gorgeous flowers but the plants behaved well and bloomed often in the many places I put it. I lost it due to neglect when I became ill. I am excited to have this plant in my home again.
Classic
Gorgeous, large blue flowers on this cultivar! Nice dark leave; is a larger plant in my experience. One of my favorites.
I see a bud!
This plant arrived with many healthy leaves and a bud! I can't wait until this one blooms!
Blue Dragon
I would give this plant 5 stars, I love it. I have a beautiful plant that is growing well in a difficult area of my home. It has grown very large deep green ruffled leaves. The large blue blooms are intriging with the green edging the flowers. LOVE IT!
Collection Favorite
I've had Blue Dragon in my violet collection for several years now and it is a favorite! Spectacular blooms, with a hint of green on the edges. You won't be disappointed.
Beautiful, but not as hardy...
Oh my gosh - such a beautiful plant - the bloom is as amazing as pictured. Unfortuanatley I have killed it twice, not as hardy as some of my other favorites. Considering ordering it a third time once I get my techniques down. Someone who can give this violet the right conditions will be very happy.
