Winter Smiles

Average Rating 4.6 out of 5

Color is exact

The plant is so pretty. Mine grew to the exact colors as the picture. The foliage is naturally well shaped. I love it!

MY FAVORITE OF THE RUSSIAN/UKRAINIAN!!

This plant is one of the easiest to grow that I have found of the Russian/Ukrainian varieties. It is a showstopper for sure. I love the different shadings of the pink, and then the green trim really sets it off.

Fussy

Wow does it make you wait! Ordered it in April, finally blooming now. Spent all this time just getting large. Not quite as vibrant as the picture but very pretty nonetheless. My guess it wanted more fertilizer than others. I'll try repotting next with a touch of bone meal. If your space is limited I'd say violet barn has violets that are much readier bloomers.

My Mother's Favorite

Of all my plants, my mother likes this one the most. The plant produces a beautiful and symmetrical rosette with no effort and copious buds. Leaves and blossoms complement each other beautifully and I love how big and full they are.

Awesome Blooms.

This is one of my favorite plants. The blooms are brilliant with both the raspberry edge and green band.

Gorgeous violet

This is truly a gorgeous plant. Always blooms true to description. Easy to grow. It’s impossible to resist to the charm of this violet.

Blooms do not look like the pics

My Winter Smiles blooms do not look like the photo. The blooms are just salmon pink and plain. So I am disappointed.

Pretty Little Plant

This Violet has really beautiful flowers. I have noticed that it does seem to sucker often compared to my other violets so it does need some maintenance but the flowers are worth it.

winter smiles

This little plant brings smiles in July as well. I was impressed by the care taken in packaging, and my plant is in great condition. Looks like it will be a while before I get to enjoy any blooms; the plant is very small, and no buds. But it looks healthy and has new leaves growing. Overall, I am satisfied and will order from them again.

Very Pretty Plant

This plant is so pretty when it blooms, the blooms are very large and delicate looking. The plant itself is very well shaped and nice growing.

All smiles!

My plants arrived today, with Playful Smiles in glorious bloom. My plant's blooms have a bit more green than the image on your site, but I am not disappointed in the least. Just gorgeous! Oh, and the shipment packaging is top notch. Thanks!

One of my favorites

Winter Smiles is a blooming fool. The blooms are large and lovely. It seems to grow well under either natural light or under fluorescent lights.

Colleen

My plant just came and is so healthy. It's under the lights and raising it's little head. Can't wait till it blooms.

Perfect

This plant arrived today in perfect condition. I am very excited to finally have this one to start my collection!

Winter Smiles beauty

'Winter Smiles' is one of the first African Violets that I have purchased. A profuse bloomer and easy to care for. Anyone thinking of buying it won't be disappointed. A real winner!
