1 teal packet of 20 African Violet Seeds (care guide included)

About each variety:

- Variegated African Violets: are similar to standard violets, only with white markings on the leaves. They are slightly more slow growing and require a little more light than the standard variety.

- Lil Gems: similar to standard violets, however they’re 3-6in wide and some leaves are variegated. You can also expect some variation in flower color and leaf shape. Since this variety is a hybrid, germination rates are lower(about 50%).

- Standard: Standard African Violet leaf shapes and sizes vary, and flowers can be pink, purple, red or white.

- Fantasy: Fantasy African Violets are similar to standard violets with similar leaf shapes, but most flowers will be bi-color.

- Trailer: Trailer African Violets are similar to standard violets, only the stems grow longer allowing the plant to trail over the sides of the planters.

Sprouting in a Smart Garden

Had trouble keeping the sprouts moist on my other attempts. These are very delicate sprouts. This is my 3rd attempt starting African Violets. I started the seeds in a Click & Grow (never have to worry about watering or light) and very quickly I got seriously tiny sprouts. Super excited! Third time's a charm!
If anyone has any problem seeds, you should definitely try a smart garden.

Seriously tiny!

Managed to “plant” them and hoping to see sprouts in the next two weeks! Putting them on a small white piece of paper helped, then shook them gently to get one or two seeds to each section of the tray. Can’t wait to see what happens!

Coming along

Sowed seeds on very fine vermiculite. With a magnifying glass I saw them peeking out yesterday.
