This beautiful blue African violet comes with a brushed brass pot and tray from our Crocus Collection, ready to drop in and display or pass on as a gift.
The petite perennial has multiple violet blue flowers, up to 2.5cm across, held in loose clusters above the foliage all year-round. An incredibly popular flowering houseplant, it’s relatively easy to maintain if kept out of direct sunlight and not overwatered (they are a ‘succulent-type’ plant).
Pot measures: Ø13.5cm x H12cm (tray Ø12.5cm x H3.5cm).

The perfect environment for these plants is bright, warm and steamy, so a bathroom or kitchen windowsill is ideal. Try to avoid cold draughts and direct sun, and ensure the foliage does not touch the window - otherwise it may get scorched. Water the plants regularly (from the base), but allow the surface to become dry before repeating the process. Remove any dead flowers or foliage as soon as they appear, and only repot (into a plastic pot) when the plant becomes root bound.
