S rupicola

Average Rating 5 out of 5

Gorgeous

Given the size of this beauty when it arrived and the date on the pot, this one it going to be big! Gorgeous plant, already in bloom. Can't wait until it is fully mature!

S. Rupicola blooms explosively!

Have grown this variety over the years and can recommend it as one of the easiest of the species. The leaves are a healthy, happy-to-be-in-your-home shade of green, and the flower-power of this plant far exceeds the modest showing in the photo with this listing. It doesn't just bloom, it "ka-blooms!" Here's a tip: resist the temptation of bullying it into being a single-crowned plant and let it develop 6 or 8 of its most promising suckers and then stand back.

Arrived in great shape!

My order got delayed via USPS so was worried the plants would not arrive in good shape. Despite a four day trip, this little one arrived in bloom with five additional buds! I am a new violet grower and looking forward to getting started with this one- it’s super cute!

Vigorous and Tough Plant

I have a few species plants, and this may be the most vigorous one. It quickly produces multiple crowns. At times, I don't know where to start dividing them! The flower is light purple or lavender. Simple, but cute. This is VERY HARD TO KILL. I live in the USDA Zone 9a, and the "summer" lasts for 5-6 months here. It's hot and dry, not the most violet-friendly environment, but this violet will live, even when others fail. Great violet to start your collection!

Great plant!

I grew S. rupicola years ago. When we moved, there was not a local club, so I lost focus. We are getting ready to move in a few months, and I have already checked that there is a club. So, I am looking to purchase again my favorites, and this is at the top of the list!
