Bloomer

I had one of these many years ago and I killed it when I moved. I got another one this year as I just love the color. I can't really pinpoint the color other than it is a shade of dark red. It has lots of blooms and it hangs in there when it doesn't get watered on time. Powder Keg will hopefully always be part of my collection

Hardy and Beautiful

This is one of the least picky growers I have ever had. I first purchased this plant in 2016 and it seems to take everything in stride. The foliage is symmetrical with very little grooming, the flowers are bold, enthusiastic and long lasting. This is a large plant and I grow it in the window as it seems to enjoy that just as much as under the lights. I can't think of one way to make this plant any better! You won't regret this as part of your collection.

Powder Keg

This is a very lovely, elegant plant. The stars nearly matches the foliage. It was one of my favorites, I lost it to mealy bug. I am buying it again.

Lovely!

This violet is one of my favorites. It isn't an overly prolific bloomer, but worth the wait!

Beautiful red blooms

This is one of the best of the reds. The plant grows well and almost always has a mass of those large stunning blooms. My original plant that I bought several years ago blooms as well as its offspring that I grew from leaves. If you love red blooms, Powder Keg won't disappoint!
