Rob's Lucky Penny

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

Beautiful

Picture is very true to life. Very pretty leaves! Mine’s a tad finicky though, seems the foliage is more delicate than darker leaved AV.I think we’ve finally found it’s happy place now. Can’t wait for it to bloom! So glad I ordered this one

Amazing foliage

Leaf chimeras are so beautiful and this one is just precious. The variegation is perfectly stable, a charming minty green that sparkles. So far it's growth has been excellent, no suckers and not particularly slow. Looking forward to future blooms!

It took its time, but worth the wait!

My plant took its time about blooming, but recently bloomed for 4 weeks straight, with 4 flowers or so per stem. It ended up happiest when placed among the regular plants: no dome, no special treatment.

Favorite AV, period.

This is my 100%, no question about it, absolutely favorite African Violet of all time. The size is perfect, the flowers are happy and cheerful, and the leaves literally shimmer. I can't imagine any other AV ever replacing Lucky Penny's place of pride on my shelves.

4 leaves broken but otherwise very pretty little plant!!

Stunning

This ain't cheap but it's an absolutely stunning little African violet and worth it if you can splurge. The leaves are beautiful enough that you don't need flowers to brighten up any room. They shimmer and shine under my lights.

Nice leaf variegation

Ok, so it takes a pretty penny to buy Rob's Lucky Penny but once you see it in person you will fall in love. So cute and such great leaf shape and it is already blooming (4 blossoms +).

LITERALLY SPARKLES

I splurged on this plant and am SO glad I did! The leaves shimmer and it's even about to bloom!

WOW!

What a lovely little plant! The plants from Violet Barn always arrive in great shape, they are packed so well!

Perfect!!!

I absolutely love this precious little Penny! I was so happy with my purchase. Very impressed with the care that was given in shipping as well. Best place I've bought plants online so far. All my plants were in perfect condition and beautiful.

Beautiful

I love this plant. I ordered it two times. The first time I repotted it right after delivery and it slowly died. This time, I am waiting longer and the results are much better. It’s an awesome plant. Highly recommend! A must have.

Well worth the cost!

This dazzling mini may be expensive, but what an addition to my collection. Thanks for this lovely plant and getting it 3000 miles, during winter, in perfect condition.

Rob's Lucky Penny

This is a gorgeous African Violet! I love variegation, but most violets have a tint of color to the white area of the leaf, or easily turn green under the wrong conditions. This is the whitest variegation I've ever seen, and it stays that way so easily. A true gem in my collection!

Evyn Koyama May 26 2015, 12:20 PM

Beautiful!

Arrived in great shape, and is a wonderful addition to the collection. Leaves are gorgeous!

Even if it's small, it's easy to bring up. It's a strong stock by a beautiful leaf.

Lucky Penny

It's easy to bring up, and it's very beautiful.

Rob's Lucky Penny Mini-Chimera

This little chimera is absolutely the preetiest plant I've ever seen. It is easy to care for and a non-stop bloomer. Looks just like the picture on the website. I heartily recommend purchasing this little beauty.

Robs Lucky Penny

Very nice plant, description is right in that it is probably the prettiest of the miniatures. Blooms easily, it does well in a window with souther exposure. I highly recommend this variety. Well worth the wait if they are currently growing more.

Susan Moore Sep 17 2011, 12:18 PM

Lucky Penny

Lucky Penny is a very beautiful miniature and is worth growing just for the striking foliage. Leaf chimeras are always interesting, but this one's a winner. Highly recommended!
