Stunning Plant

I received this plant in my order a couple months ago. It was packaged so well and has continuously grown up to this point. It has shaped up so nicely and has started to set buds to flower! I'm eagerly awaiting those beautiful blooms!

Gorgeous Healthy Plant

First time in ordering from Violet Barn, It definitely won't be my last. All my plants I ordered In June, arrived healthy and in excellent shape. They are thriving, growing and blooming constantly. These plants are just so healthy and nice compared to other violets out there, will tell anyone interested in ordering violets, to definitely order from Violet Barn. Getting ready to place another order, thank you Violet Barn for such great plants

Great gift

I got this for my aunt as a gift she would never get herself. She loves it. It arrived in great condition and has been blooming happily for months now. Highly recommend!

Beautiful

This a beautiful coral shade (not orange) of violet - one of my favorite colors. The leaves' edges are variegated - something I'm not usually fond of because I think it competes with the flowers, BUT in this case the variegation is also coral! Just a beautiful violet.

Excellent large African Violet show plant

Excellent African Violet! Beautiful coral multiple long-lasting flowers stand above magnificent large dark green variegated, perfectly formed, foliage that spans 15" across, definitely great plant for show.

Amazing color!

This plant is a stunner! Gorgeous full ruffled blooms are not true orange, as others have noted, but are probably the closest you'll ever get with an African violet. They're a deep warm peachy pink, set off nicely by the lightly variegated dark green foliage. I love it!

I love the color

This is one of my favorites. I love the coral color. It’s a good bloomer. I just ordered another one and it came with two flowers in bloom.

Barbara Kaminski 23 Jan 2025, 12:23

Gorgeous and sure to please!

I have grown this variety for a number of years and it's easy to grow and puts up a huge bouquet of blooms above very symmetrical, flat-growing foliage. You will not be disappointed!

I’ve got have one

Has always been a favorite of mine. Many, many years ago I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Ness and visit with him in his home as he showed me around and shared with me some his projects that he was working on. A lovely gentleman and a skilled hybridizer. Orange Pekoe is a testimony to all that he gave to our African Violet community.

Beautiful Deep Coral

This is one of the best deep coral African Violets. I also found it a slow grower but an enjoyable plant.

Orange Pekoe

Orange Pekoe might just be my favorite violet! Heavy bloomer that was delightful during the winter months. Super excited to see it back in stock today- going to buy a second! Blossoms are definitely not orange- more of a deep red/burgundy shade. Will not be disappointed with this violet.

Slow but steady

In all the incredible violets I have received from Violet Barn this has been the most stubborn to take off out of all my standards. Now that spring is here beautiful white variegated leaves are finally emerging and I think he is finally happy. Hope to seem some Beautiful blooms in the next few months

Won't disappoint!

I grew this violet before and after a vacation from violets, it was one of the first varieties I looked for

An Old Favorite

I haven't raised AVs for about 5 years now, but as I dive back in, this one was so memorable that it had to be on my list again!

Mark OFfill 13 May 2019, 00:03

Grown before

I love the color of this plant. I'm into violets again after a hiatus of 6 years, and remember how gorgeous this violet is. It is a lovely plant! Oft times the colors are not as true as the pictures, but I remember that these buds were so pretty. Anxious to order and grow again.

Not Orange But Beautiful!

It is not orange but it is an unusual color though! It blooms a beautiful dusty salmon pink for me and it keeps blooming. Real eye catching!

Gregory Payne 24 Aug 2018, 01:08

Simply beautiful

This plant arrived in perfect condition with the most beautiful variegation and great symmetry. Should shape up nicely for show. I can't wait for it to bloom.

Pat Graham 14 Oct 2017, 14:42

WOW

This has just started blooming & the color is gorgeous - as well as the leaves! So impressive, will be a favorite!

Nancy Johnson 12 May 2016, 20:48

My Husband's Favorite

I threw it out once just because it clashed with everything! However it is a very unusual color. He calls it salmon which is probably as good as anything. It's an excellent bloomer and a very nice plant, shapes well and grows very nicely, but doesn't play well with some others ;) We have it again, needless to say.

Ness Orange Pekoe

I got this wonderful plant less than a year ago and today it is a perfect big plant covered with orange-pink stars. Though their color is paler than the picture in the catalog. The foliage is truly impressive.

Emel Uckan 22 Jun 2015, 15:16

Stunning

This plant is a stunner. I find this to be a no fuss violet...let her do her thing because she does it beautifully. Perfect symmetry, lovely leaves and variegation, lots of wonderful flowers that are more pink than coral. I grow her under lights and I find she does well under high or low light conditions. If you like pink flowers and a wonderful variegated leaf and no fuss she is the violet for you. She is a great one for the novice.

Rena Cisneros 6 Oct 2014, 18:52

Luv its gutz!

This was a gift for a Sister In Law who loves growing Violets. Wow such a stunning plant got me hooked on them now. Even if your not a collector, Orange Pekoe is that one amazing violet you want for that perfect spot by the kitchen window.

Gerry Chylack 12 Sep 2014, 00:59

Love the plant as much as the tea

I have a large collection of violets and this is one of my very favorites. Always in bloom and beautiful foliage to compliment. Thanks for the great plants!

Kristen Finn 3 Aug 2014, 16:34

Beautiful coral!!!

I love this flower! The blooms are a gorgeous, unusual coral with very ruffled edges. They have strong stems and sit above elegantly variegated leaves. Anyone who loves pinks should have this!

Fran Corley 21 Oct 2013, 17:04

Very nice

This is a really easy plant to grow, and the flower color is very unique. Excellent overall plant.

Jeremy 1 Dec 2012, 15:24

Ness Orange Pekoe

This plant just arrived and in full bloom. Absolutely stunning. I am so glad I ordered this. I have a leaf, but didn't want to wait for the plant to grow. The Violet Barn has some of the most beautiful plants. Please order this as part of your collection--you'll be so happy you did.

Raina 21 Jun 2012, 14:33

beautiful but not orange

I'm a sucker for variegated foliage and this one is fabulous. the flowers are a wonderful sparkly, mauvy pink, not anything close to 'orange'. Regardless, It's fabulous!

Kathy Crowe 11 Mar 2012, 20:04

Orange

Great service, nice plant, but the blossoms are more of a raspberry than orange

Sandra Winkler 15 Feb 2012, 09:45

Ness Orange pekoe

So far my blooms are more towards a pink color, not coral as pictured. Not a lot of blooms so far. Hopefully asmit matures it will be a stronger producer.

Elizabeth 19 Jun 2011, 13:38

Gorgeous blooms!

This plant is a prolific bloomer and the flowers are so beautiful.

sarah long 10 Jun 2011, 22:57

orange pekoe

Orange Pekoe has been one of my best performers, winning at our local fair every time entered. Though other violets have been winners also, it's the unique color of Orange Pekoe that makes it one of my favorites.
