Big, Big, Big

Wow this is a very nice plant. White flowers are a treat as they are big and hold their white color well.

I have been looking for a white violet and was thrilled to find one with the same name as my daughter. Gillian arrived in excellent condition and am waiting for her first blooms.

Sturdy

I purchased my Gillian in march this year. It was well packaged but the postal people crushed the box. Thankfully half of one leaf was still alive and the poor thing has finally recovered. Hopefully I will get my first bloom soon!

Super Huge White Blooms

If you like solid white huge blooms - this is the plant to get! Gorgeous! You can go wrong with this one! Very easy to grow too.

Not sure about this one yet

I'm a bit disappointed with this one. I did receive it as a young plant and it had one bloom on it. I disbudded it when I got it, but It took a really long time to bloom and when it finally did, the flowers were in fact beautiful, but there weren't many blooms and the ones I got couldn't stand up on their own. I've disbudded it twice since in hopes that at least the foliage would grow and it would develop more and stronger blooms, but it hasn't really done either. Also for me, the foliage is really tight with very thick leaves. I'm now on the hunt for a different white violet.

Beautiful, long-lasting blooms. My plants never seem to have blooms over about 2 1/2" but I live in hope. Mine does seem to have a fair amount of green on the outside petals as the bloom cycle goes on. Very attractive plant!

Wonderful Plant!

I got this plant mid March and it is now blooming beautifully. The flower stalks are strong and of good length, holding the stunning white blooms upright above a well formed symmetrical crown of medium green leaves. I have done many mistakes typical of a new grower but this plant, along with many others I got from Violet Barn proves to be very forgiving.

Spectacular

I am not one for pure white flowers or standard foliage. However, I decided to give this one a try for the flower size alone. WOW, The flowers are huge...my first flower was 3". The leaves are extremely hairy and quilted and thick...spectacular!!! The plant is gorgeous, love it and it stays a modest size. I put mine at the end of the light shelf, natural light would be great also. This is a real winner! If you like huge flowers and hairy foliage don't miss out on this one.

Amazing plant!

Plants arrived safely, wonderfully packed, and healthy as can be! Beautiful foliage and began to bud quickly. I won't be wasting my time elsewhere, Violet Barn is my first choice for AV's

Beastly Babe

Again, got mine from Lyons in '08. Leaf sprouted readily even with very short stem. Plant is slow growing with thick leathery leaves. The two plants I've kept have very different flowers. One is a dahlia-looking thing with a little purple around the stamen. These stand up in a nice cluster, last for a long time, but do not resemble the photos I've seen on line. The other is Devastator, from Transformers. The flowers are so huge and ruffly the stems cannot support them. They loll on the leaves looking like that long-necked destruct-o robot from the movie. Kinda creepy to me.

I have had this plant for a couple of years and to me it is the most beautiful of all the white violets. The blooms are very large and lovely! If you are looking for a white violet, this is the one!

MINE arrived in bloom, reminds me of a carnation. This is a great plant had it years ago, very hardy. The packing is great, can't say enough good things about the violet barn.

This arrived in bloom. Pure White and really gorgeous.

Karen Shaurette Dec 25 2011, 07:07 AM

Beautiful!

If you like whites this oe is a 'must have'. The plant itself is attractive enough, but the blooms are outstanding in both size and purity of color. Mine has been a prolific bloomer and the flowers are both large and showy. They have made for a beautiful addition to my collection

Reliable Beauty

I bought this plant over ten years ago, and it remains hearty, reliable, and one of my favorites. I didn't think I'd like a white flower, but this convinced me otherwise with it's spectacular blooms. Blooms infrequently, but well worth the wait.

Virginia Hoffman Jul 17 2011, 15:07 PM

Pretty White

Such a pretty fluffy white - does not bloom often for me, but when it does - wow!
