Nancy Reagan

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

Fast Grower

This violet is a very fast grower. Produces abundant blooms, but just wish they were a little larger.

Glad to have Nancy back!

I grew this violet several years ago, and just loved the pink variegation and soft color details of the leaves when I had it under fluorescent lights. Nancy is a keeper for sure.

Waiting to see those pinkish leaves

I brought this lovely plant in July 2022 as a starter plants. It had blooms at the time. The plant is slowly growing and I’m looking forward to seeing it mature.

I ordered this for the foliage -- other reviewers are correct, it's really stunning. Nice pinkish color in the variegation. Starter plant arrived with four leaves plus growth in the crown. I'm looking forward to seeing the blossoms in a couple of months!

What a lovely violet

This is one gorgeous little plant. It's always blooming and has the most beautiful colors. Grows nicely under the right conditions. it has done best for me with Wick watering.

Always a charmer

Nancy Reagan arrived loaded with blooms. She is a diminutive plant with perfect crown formation. I love having one of the classics.

Beautiful Plant!

I purchased Nancy Reagan as a small starter plant. It is now 12 inches in diameter with lovely symmetry and variegation, a good bloomer, and quite hardy. Natural light makes my special violet happy. Nancy Reagan is one of my favorites, and it can be one of yours, too!

Beyond Excited

I’ve bought several violets from grocery stores but never anything unique or special. I watched some YouTube blooming videos featuring violet barn and wow.... I was inspired to make my first ever online plant order. I’m so excited, I’m trying to plan space so I can make another order in the future! So many options. I want them all!

The foliage on this plant is absolutely stunning. It has grown well for me despite my inexperience. It seems to bloom well.

May be an Oldie -- But Still a Goodie!

I've seen this several times, but never had the opportunity to own it until now! Such beautiful variegated foliage -- the flowers are just a bonus!

This violet had been slow to grow and bloom in my natural light environment, but well worth the wait!!! Beautiful leaves and bunches of small purple flowers. A keeper at my house!

JUST LOVELY!!!!!

Every few years I go through phase's with my love for plants. I am now back on African Violets. I originally ordered from The Violet Barn in 2013 and kind of fell off from violets. I started back up in 2017 and I am so glad they are still selling such lovely violets. I received the Nancy Reagan back in November in perfect condition. It has grown huge within in the past few months, with beautiful colorful variegated leaves, and now its beginning to bloom. I can't wait. :)

Beautiful

I love anything variegated and so this was on my list. I received it in winter time. All green but in no time, she has gotten more and more beautiful as time passes. I love this one so much and highly recommend it.

Kathalina McGinnis Apr 10 2018, 18:51 PM

This plant looks like a painting!

This is the most perfect plant you could have. The leaves are always shiny and healthy with lots of different colors and the blooms are bright. Great plant!

I love variegated leaf African Violets, and Nancy Reagan is still one of my favorites. The cream and some slight pink especially on the top leaves make this plant very special. I am glad that it is still available.

Gene Beyer Jan 25 2018, 15:08 PM

Beautiful foliage

I just ordered this and can’t wait to see it bloom. The foliage alone, is worth the wait for the blooms.

Looks Just Like Photo!

This plant blooms constantly and is beautiful even when between blooms. Some plants end up looking nothing like the picture, but mine looks almost exactly like the photo here!

decade ago

I grew this one with moderate success a decade or more ago. I want to grow it again!

Nancy Reagan - What a Beauty

I have always had this plant in my collection. Purchased one from Rob a few weeks ago with the best foliage ever. More pink than I had ever seen in the past. Always a joy to receive these vintage beauties from The Violet Barn..
