this plant makes me so happy

I just love this plant. I haven't even received my first order yet but it looks like I'm going to have to make another purchase soon because I don't want to lose the opportunity to have this one in my collection and I didn't look in the trailing violets until after I had already made my purchase.

Unpacked with numerous blooms!

I opened my box and unwrapped my little plant Pixie Runaround Sport. It was to my surprise full of blooms! It is a stunning little violet already! I can’t wait to see it when it gets settled in.

Very cute mini

Almost always in bloom. Variegated leaves are a fun surprise.

Cute bloomer

This one is so cute. It's smaller than other trailers and almost always in bloom.

Adorable little plant

This little plant just makes me happy! It’s so vibrant and perky. Grows well and constantly flowering. I’ve already divided and shared with a friend. VB plants always arrive in great condition.

Pixie Runaround Sport

This cute little chimera trailer arrived in perfect condition with an open bloom and several buds. It has continued to bloom for me and is exactly as described and pictured.

Just love this little Trailer

Pixie Runaround sport is one I always try to keep in my collection. Never fails to cover itself in blooms and is an easy grower.

VERA CARLSON Jun 24 2022, 14:20 PM

Very happy!

My mini chimera trailer came budded last year. It has been blooming true since then. My growing room runs warm so I’m not getting as much variegation so plan on moving to a lower shelf this summer. Hope to order more chimeras from VB soon!

Belia Wynne Apr 17 2022, 00:34 AM

Excellent Variegation

I bought Pixie Runaround Sport last year. The leaf variegation is more profound under my growing condition, and the flowers are very pretty. I am very happy with this purchase and going back to VB for more!

Cute plant and flowers

First, on Violet Barn generally: great packing! All the plants came through perfectly - and expeditiously (late October)! This trailing plant arrived with buds that started to bloom very shortly after arrival. The trailing aspect is already very apparent. Very much looking forward to working with this plant over the next months and years.

Patti Hagopian Oct 31 2021, 22:41 PM

Love this plant

I especially love variegated, mini sized leaves, and bicolored flowers, and this one has it all. It's done well so far, and with cooler weather, more variegation is starting to return.

Emily Forrester Oct 28 2021, 23:19 PM

Absolutely adorable!

Arrived in perfect condition and blooming! Such an adorable little plant. Can’t wait to see what it will do as it matures. Just lovely.

David Carpenter Oct 17 2021, 00:03 AM

This one is Awesome!

I ordered this plant earlier this year, it’s in full bloom for the second time now. My pinwheels at the moment are two different shades of purple. Maybe as the plant matures the white will come through more but this is still an amazing looking plant!

Sonja Muench Sep 23 2021, 21:11 PM

Beautiful!

I ordered this plant a couple years ago and it's still going strong! I have it in a terrarium and it's blooming beautifully. I'm back to order more minis for terrariums I'm giving as gifts. Wonderful quality plants and great shipping!

Margaret Smith Sep 19 2021, 16:22 PM

Colorful Pinwheel flowers

Colorful blue and white pinwheel flowers along with pretty variegated green leaves with speckles of white. A very unique plant to add to anyone's trailing violet collection.

Joe Falch Aug 24 2021, 16:07 PM

Awesome!

So happy I got this one! Love the little blooms! Took a little to find the right light but it really took off then. Pretty new to African Violets but if I can do it you can too. Happy with VB, getting ready for my second order.

greg fisher Aug 06 2021, 07:46 AM

Cute

Very cute, easy to take care of. The leaves on mine are more variegated than in the photo

N M Jul 31 2021, 20:43 PM

Beautiful

Love this plant. I’m back to order more (just different styles and colors)!

Meredith Qualley Jul 25 2021, 20:42 PM

One of my favorites

Absolutely gorgeous tiny trailer, with perfect pinwheels. It blooms constantly! I love it so much, it grows beautifully and develops suckers like wild (a good thing with a trailer!) Violet Barn has been my favorite place to buy from for years now. Always a wonderful place to shop!

Laura Leonard Apr 24 2021, 16:21 PM

Love the flowers

This plan arrived with a couple blooms and in perfect shape. I ordered it last year and the leaves still look nice and healthy. I can't wait for new blooms

Diana Richer Mar 27 2021, 15:41 PM

What A Cutie!

I ordered this few weeks ago and it arrived perfectly in good shape! No damage! She now grown a little bit and she is so cute in 1 1/2 inch pot with her variegated little leaves. She is now budding and can't wait to see the buds open!

Renee Flowers Nov 05 2020, 08:16 AM

Hardy and pretty

I had this variety in the past and I am buying it again because I miss it. The blooms were striking and it was very easy to grow.

Karole Kuslak Oct 04 2020, 01:50 AM

Pixie

This little plant is Precious, just so darn cute!

Terrie Clark Apr 27 2020, 23:02 PM

Beautiful

Reminds me a bit Forget-me-not flowers. Plant is very healthy and I got mine with one bud :) I have three open now. Please note that color in the picture is a bit off but not by too much. Definitely one of my favorite violets.

Svetlana Kaleshnik Apr 18 2020, 10:07 AM

New to violets!

We ordered several violets. They both came in great shape and blooming. Especially beautiful is Pixie Runaround Sport. Its been blooming beautifully since we've received it and its bringing much joy to our house!

Megan Nagels Mar 23 2020, 22:26 PM

An affordable chimera!

The plant arrived in great shape. It had around 4 blooms on it already and at least twice as many buds developing. There were lots of leave and already several branches. It looks like it should be easy to get an offshoot of this plant to root. I found the plant very charming.

gail wrenn Feb 28 2020, 17:07 PM

one of my favorites

This has be come one of my favorite little trailers, seems to be always in bloom

Pixie Runaround

This is the cutest little violet I have tried! Blooms well in bright indirect light using sea kelp as a fertilizer.

Jeanette Dallek Jul 15 2019, 01:29 AM

Pixie Runaround Sport

Received this beauty 2 weeks ago, and it's blooming already it's so small and cute, i just love it:D

Elodie Ferland Martel Jun 30 2019, 13:19 PM

Pixie Runaround

Great little plant everyone should have this one in their collection.

VERA CARLSON Jun 17 2019, 14:52 PM

Cute as a button

As always super well packaged. Has beautiful foliage with the variegation, will be a fun one once it fills out and blooms, new to trailing AV's but love all that I have from here already.

Nancy Breen May 24 2019, 15:27 PM

Beautifully Variegated!

I was expecting this trailer to be like the picture. However, it is better than the picture! I can not wait till it blooms. This is a must have trailer.

Lauren Mcadoo May 20 2019, 03:10 AM

Just received my plant

Such a happy, healthy plant! Looking forward to seeing the blooms. The plants I've received from Violet Barn are packaged so well, plants are so healthy.....I highly recommend them.

Susan Oliver Mar 10 2019, 14:47 PM

Love Pixie runaraound sport!

Love this plant, used to have it, but lost it. So glad to get it again!!

Silvia Hartley Sep 25 2018, 17:07 PM

pixie

Bought this little darling about 6 months ago. Just got two blooms each about the size of a dime. Not much variegation in the leaves but the east window could be a little warm. It's being self watered and is growing well. Really like this plant.

Peggy Jun 08 2018, 01:56 AM

Cute!

I have grown this and it is a small, cute plant that is a bit unique since it has chimera blooms. Worth growing.

Karole Kuslak Nov 04 2017, 23:48 PM

cute little plant

I purchased this recently and it is blooming well. The flowers look just like the photo. The leaves on mine have a lot more variegation than shown in the photo. I'm very pleased with it.

Margaret Siirila Oct 07 2017, 16:05 PM

Lovely!

This little pixie bloomed soon after I received it. It is just lovely. I haven't seen as much variegation in the leaves as others have mentioned, but I think it is my lighting.

CECILIA YOUNG Oct 01 2017, 22:33 PM

Blooms Spectacularly Under a Glass Dome

The foliage of this violet has always been very lovely and more variegated than in the photo but it would not bloom well for me. Finally, I put the violet under a glass dome and now it has just as many beautiful blooms as the violet in the photo! It definitely has the "Wow" factor!

Meg Bauer Jul 23 2016, 23:34 PM

Constantly beautiful

A friend gave me this as a gift when I was restarting my collection a few years ago, and I'm so pleased with it! It currently has 2 crowns, covered in new buds and branches. The foliage is a nice cream and bright green, and spreads out horizontally on strong petioles. When it blooms, it's nonstop purple and white pinwheels. A favorite in my collection!

Ash Saylor Apr 26 2016, 21:57 PM

A favorite!

Hardy little plant, good grower! Lost variegation in the heat of summer but getting it back again now it's cooling down. First blooming it was smothered with flowers!

Paige Patty Sep 20 2015, 13:46 PM

Teeny Bopper

I received Teeny Bopper as a "freebie" with an order earlier this month. I wouldn't have ordered this mini because the description says it is not recommended for a novice...which I am....because it is so tiny. But I am so impressed with the sweet form of this little plant! And it already has 5 blossoms and more buds forming! I am just delighted and hope I can move beyond my novice stage fast enough to do Teeny Bopper justice! BTW, I have ordered 3 times from Violet Barn and have never been disappointed...always impressed by the care they take in growing, wrapping and packaging the plants for shipment. It is always a delight to open the box!

Susan Burke Mar 19 2015, 21:18 PM

Wonderful little chimera trailer

What a great chimera trailer. I can't believe how long the flowers last...4 weeks and in the heat of summer, amazing. Also, it is a profuse bloomer. I find it readily suckers and is rather easy to shape and groom. This is one of the many AV I have purchased from the Violet Barn. I can't say enough about their plants and the wonderful packaging they do.

Rena Cisneros Oct 05 2014, 00:02 AM

chimera trailer

Love this little trailer! It's colors are gorgeous! Can't wait till it blooms!

Cute little guy

This plant arrived perfectly cute and healthy. Waiting for it to bloom and hope it will look just like the picture.

Always in bloom one of my faves!!

gwynne jenks Jul 13 2013, 09:12 AM

Beautiful and Hardy

This little plant is beautiful as well as hardy and has been in bloom constantly since I received it. I love this little trailing chimera!

Mary Hoyt Jun 26 2013, 17:31 PM

showy

Love this hardy plant with very showy flowers. My favorite trailer.

Linda Mangold Feb 23 2013, 08:45 AM

Pixie Runaround Sport

This plant has been in my collection for a bit of time, and it constantly blooms. It is quite showy and gets compliments from my av friends. Add 1 to your collection today

Raina Jul 17 2012, 19:19 PM

super!

Tiny, reliably-variegated, prolific trailer, *and* lots of striped chimera blooms - what a deal! This grows best for me with some extra humidity to prevent bud blast. It grows fast and has plenty of blooms, too.
