Ma's Pink Beetles

Average Rating 4.7 out of 5

Longtime favorite

I purchased this plant many years ago as one of my first orders from the Violet Barn. It is a solid, healthy favorite that has dealt with changing conditions like a champ. I've gifted it to several other people who always love it. The pink variegation is lovely and the flowers are gorgeous. Long-lasting blooms as well. It can grow leggy in some conditions, but I actually appreciate that the center is never tight. There are many other AVs that look similar to this one, but I've ended up giving those away and keeping this one.

Wonderful plant

This is a great little plant. Blooms well for me. The leaves are soft with a nice variegated edge

Ma's Pink Beetles

Gorgeous blossoms, large and fluffy. One of my favorites. She's a beauty and very much a lady.

Gorgeous Addition to My Collection

This is one of the first violets I ordered from The Violet Barn, and I must say it is an attractive specimen. The flowers are beautiful, but the dark foliage is also very appealing. The flowers and leaves provide an excellent contrast. I highly recommend this violet! In general, I have been overwhelmingly satisfied with The Violet Barn. The plants ship quickly and are packed very carefully. I’ve never had a damaged plant arrive at my doorstep. I’ve become an avid plant collector and customer of The Violet Barn!

Almost lost this one

So this one took longer than most to bloom full on. And let me tell you its stunning and the one everyone asks about when they see my collection. Slow growing but strong growing. It was affected with mildew qnd and frost because i moved. And was down to 3 or 4 leaves and now its back to almost adult size and hopefully flowering for me soon. Iv got to say very hardy plant that can tolerate over watering to a point and also neglect of watering. For its stunning blooms its a very hardy plant.
