Col. microphylla


Fantastic!  Spectacular, even for the tiniest of plants.  Dark, green leaves with reddish backing and stems and bright burnt-orange blooms.  Will produces blooms larger than the plant, even in a 2" pot!

Col. microphylla

Average Rating 4.7 out of 5

Very Happy

Glad I found this plant finally.

Beautiful flowers!

I've had this one for several years now. It was a slow start on the growth for this one but now that it is fuller I feel like it is blooming near constantly. The orange is a great contrast with my violets.

Excited!

I am so excited to receive this plant! I placed an order for this as soon as I saw it in stock! I have been searching for it for some time and heard many great reviews about Violet Barn!

Rare Find

Have been looking for C. microphylla for awhile and was happy to find it here. Came it the most impressive packaging to ensure safe arrival.

Impressive Blooms!

Got this one a while back. It crawls all over my terrarium and blooms with huge bright red flowers! Love the tiny round leaves.

Happy Accident

Received as an accidental addition to my shipment a year ago. Plant has not bloomed but I have made no real efforts to push it. It continues to shoot out new stems regularly with the longest being about 18 inches long. It just generally looks awesome.

First columnia

I decided to branch out. I have over 30 strep from Violet barn. I have many African violets. I haven't had this baby very long but she came in great shape with many tiny leaves. Not sure how long she will trail but I plan on sitting her on top of an upside down antique milk glass goblet.

Worth the wait!

I ordered one of these, arrived as a starter plant (as expected); and after surviving severe pruning from my puppies it is now over 5 feet long and when it blossoms (which it does regularly) is covered in blooms 10 times larger than the leaves! Took a few years, but well worth it. An amazing natural beauty. You can stick a cutting in a terrarium and it will run across the ground and bloom- fun!

I need to study up on this one

I order this plant at the same time as 3 others. All arrived healthy, and were repotted immediately. It grew but it not glossy beautiful like the photo, in fact I'm a little worried about it. I attribute this to gardener error since the other two African Violets are thriving. I'm going to have to read up on this one to figure out what I am doing wrong because I would love for it to thrive.

Itsy bitsy little cutie pie

I ordered 17 plants, they shipped Aug 3 & arrived Aug 10th. I received the plants directly off the USPS van. All plants were watered upon arrival. Reviewed Aug 14th. Fantastic packaging as expected. Lost a couple leaves I gather due to ultra slow usps service, the "Forrest Gump" (you never know what your gonna get) shipper. I'm not worried, plenty of new grown on this plant already makes me confidant this ones a winner. Looks like it will benefit from a little fertilization. Nice uniform growth already apparent is this young example.

Wonderful plant!

Wonderfully healthy plant. All my order was great and I plan to order more in the near future.

Lovely and easy plant!

Grow mine in an east window with supplementary fluorescent lighting; blooms very happily! Seems to like underpotting. The flowers are astounding.

columnea microphylla

I love this little plant, no blooms yet but is growing happily outside on a covered porch. Beautiful trailing habit. will be perfect in the winter window.

unique Columnea

I love this plant and while it grows well in average temperatures, it won't bud unless given a cool treatment, such as near a cool windowsill, if it's bright enough. Don't let this one get too dry either.
