Bristols Boo Boo

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

Red Velvet

The color of Boo Boo is truly red red - I guess like blood red, not a variation of red like burgundy. The flowers are smaller but abundant and look like velvet.

Beautiful shade of red

This has slowly become a favorite plant for me. Not only does it bloom well and beautifully, but it's quite tough and recovered nicely when I ended up accidentally giving it root rot around a month ago -- and it kept blooming the whole time! Really a nice plant.

Best in Class!

Once this guy was up to a 4-in pot size it put up dozens of bloom stalks and was absolutely covered in red flowers for our local African violet show, where it won Best in Class.

Nice bright red

Nice medium red. Vigorous grower. Received healthy ready to bloom plant.

Nice Red

This is a nice color red that produces 4-5 buds per bloom stalk.

2nd time around

A great bloomer the first time when i received it during the summer. It is now on its second full bloom with about a dozen blooms and one of the best colors of red I have purchased. Highly recommend. Warren Conover

cute little plant

Received this plant over a year ago. The blooms are quite small but very pretty.

Bristols Boo Boo

This plant puts out many blooms that are beautiful red color. It was one of the fist plants that I purchased and I have enjoyed it for a couple of years.

Adorable!

This is an adorable little hybrid! Cute, sturdy blooms cover the plant continuously! I love the red blossoms with eye-catching yellow "fangs"! A must have if you are looking for a nice, compact, easy plant!

A must have for your collection!

I love this plant! Wonderful shade of red with long lasting blooms. It hasn't been without blooms once it started blooming.

"Red"y to burst with blossoms

Boo Boo is the only one of my plants that has not bloomed yet after about 6 weeks from receipt, but I can see it has great plans for a spectacular grand opening! There must be 10 buds enlarging on it already! Couple more weeks and it should be an explosion of deep red color.

so far sooo good

Best packaging from a mail order plant store EVER! So far just a few leaves but the leaves look great. Plants just arrived today.

Took my breath away!

From the pictures, I knew it would be beautiful but WOW! When it first opened I did a double take. It is beautiful. The blooms look like red velvet with a touch of bright yellow. The leaves seem to be behaving quite nicely, it blooms all the time! I have become a fan of the Streps.

Bristol's Boo Boo

I am new to Streptocarpus' and I love them. Boo Boo is NO mistake! Profuse blooms, brilliant color! Easy to grow and propagate from leaves when repotting! One of my favorites.

non-stop bloomer

This plant has not stopped blooming! I consider Boo-Boo to be the "backbone" of my collection with its velvety red blooms held high on erect stems. Multiple blooms on each stem and very long lasting! A stunning addition to any collection!

Amazing

I received my Bristols BooBoo the end of January along with 4 other streps. It only has two leaves but already has three blooms. They look like they are an amazing red velvet. I am so pleased with it and the other streps I got from Violet Barn so am ordering 19 more. I am totally hooked. thank you!!!

Bristol's Boo Boo

Very lovely plant blooms non stop. The Violet Barn sends great rooted streptocarpus. I repot those guys in 4 inch pots and they take off.

Beautiful Bristol's Boo Boo

I received Bristol's Boo Boo only a few weeks ago and it is already blooming quite nicely with those gorgeous red blossoms. What a beauty. Already one of my favorite Streps. I would highly recommend this one!!

Bristol's Booboo

I have had my starter plant only two months and it looks just like the picture! A very rewarding and easy subject.
