Very good performer in it's own right!
I like this plant in my collection, just to remind myself how much work has been done by hybridizers working to make a variety of colorful new cultivars. However, this species is a very good performer in it self!
Species violets
I’ve been purchasing from Violet Barn for many years. The plants always arrive in beautiful shape, sometimes blooming. I appreciate selection of Species Violets as after over 50 years of growing violets the species are my main concentration now.
Full of the natural beauty of Nature!
While I love all the hybrids, this one has a glow of natural beauty that is unsurpassed! Mine grows slightly upright, just enough to get a glimpse of burgundy and pink on the underside of the leaves. The flowers are a glowing violet. I have a rabbt foot fern growing atop a candle holder and surrounded it with species violets so that they are growing under a fern canopy. Together they create a picture of the untouched beauty of nature.! Spectacular!
Great place to start!
I began growing several species this year. I love them all, but S ionantha has been the easiest to grow. Beautiful, sturdy plant that has been blooming non-stop! Highly recommend!
Beginner’s fave
I got my first try of growing violets with S Ionantha. It’s blue violet colors were an eye catcher and it was easy to grow. With a beginner’s luck, this one is a winner.
