Variety With Every Bloom Cycle
If the violet does not reliably demonstrate superiority in multiple ways, the Violet Barn does not propagate or sell it. This high standard of excellence reflects the character of the owners, who have spent their lives teaching novices with practical guidance in their online lessons. If you haven’t found the “teaching” part of their site, look for it today. The best part of this violet is that each bloom cycle has variety in the fantasy markings on the blossoms. A joy to behold.

Beautiful plant!
This is a fantastic plant with a beautiful flower. This is one of my top ten violets that I always keep in my collection.
Love it!
As always, she arrived healthy and well package. I received a nice sized plant that has grown and shaped well. Already on second bloom. Not quite as boldly colored as the picture, but it's still a young plant. Mine is a little more white with nice deep pink thumbprints, and some fantasy streaks. Hopefully over time it will grow and mature to more like the picture. Very pretty though.
Strong Fantasy Pattern
I've had bad luck in the past with violets losing their fantasy spots, but this one is still going strong a little over a year later.
Fun play of colors
I love the variation in the colors on each bloom. This is really a nice little plant; it came very healthy and well-packaged.
Just Received this Incredibly healthy Plant and it has at least 6 buds.
I am blown away by this company. I have been raising African violets for 50 years and most of mine have been gifts, cuttings from other gardeners or purchased from a local gardening center. The packaging is amazing. It is frigid outside when these plants were delivered and not only were there no broken leaves. The plants looked perfectly healthy and happy. I am so excited to learn of these folks and cannot wait until the pandemic is over to visit this facility in person!
Playful Spectrum update
When I first received Playful spectrum in September 2019, my growing conditions were not the best. I had my violets in a sunny window where they thrived until we entered an unusual winter time monsoon season and the sun disappeared. For weeks. My violets didn’t like that. So, enter a growing shelf with lights and everyone became very happy. Playful spectrum was so happy it suckered. So, now I have three. If you like unusual blooms that literally are like snowflakes in that two are alike then you should try this plant.
Fantastic Plant-
Playful Spectrum is a gorgeous blooming plant! The variety that you get from the Violet Barn has true color- perfect fantasy with the white center- don’t miss the chance to own this one!
Playful spectrum
Received with my last order. Everything was very well packed and arrived with no damage. The plant is growing well and should be blooming soon. Can't wait to see it
Playful Spectrum
This is one of my absolute favorite violets. The blooms are beautiful and I love the colors! It is easy to grow and a joy to have! I have recently placed and received two orders from the Violet Barn after not placing an order for several years. The plants I received were top quality and so well packed for shipping!!! I was going to wait awhile to place another order but I saw a few more violets that I "had to have" so I am ordering again.
one of my favorites
This was one of the first violets I bought and I love it. I grow it under lights and it has bloomed at least twice so far. The flowers look like the photos and each one is a little different which is plus for me. If you like fantasy flowers like me I highly recommend this plant.
Fun plant to have!
I enjoy this violet because each time it blooms the pattern is a little different. If you change it's location and the temperature is different the pattern changes again. All are very pretty and I love the excitement.
Waiting for a bloom
I got it recently and it's not in bloom yet, but it's nice and healthy and arrived so well packaged. I'm sure it's beautiful just like the rest of Violet Barn's selection.
Very interesting plant
Depending on the lighting & temperature conditions, this plant can be a very light to very dark color. It is a good and dependable bloomer.
Very Happy!
I ordered several violets and this one was among them. It has been a couple-about maybe 3 months since my purchase and the plants are doing well and just starting to get bloom buds. I eagerly await their flowering! Violet barn took great care in the packaging of these plants and they arrived to me with only one leaf that had popped off and in great condition. I will definitely order again sometime!
Seems to need less light
Nice flowers. My plant however is growing too tightly which implies that my LED lighting is too bright even though the light is placed 22" high. Flowers are struggling to find a gap through the leaves.
Haven't had it long
Just about a month since it arrived. It is nice and healthy and there are a few new leaves and a bud now. Can't wait to see the flower!
Beautiful Plant
While we were on vacation this beautiful plant (which I had 4) died because they did get properly watered. They were the center of my dish gardens and they were so beautiful,all different colors. Diana

If I were restricted to just one plant,it would without question be Playful Spectrum!A beautiful long lasting bloom.
Playful Spectrum
This is one of my very favorite violets. Purchased this one on 4-22-08. First time purchase @ Violet Barn. This plant has flowered constantly with different color blooms each time. Went on vacation for a week and the plant seems to be dormant. No blooms for a month. Sure hope it comes back. Would recommend this choice for flower lovers.
Love Love Love It!
My Playful Spectrum has large blooms and blooms all the time. Definately one of my all time favarites. You can never go wrong with this plant!
Great blooms
This standard violet produces fantastic, large blooms with eye-catching colors. It's one of my favorites to grow. The foliage is well behaved but the plant requires more fertilizer than a typical violet for the leaves to remain green.
Play' Spec'
Each of my three Playful Spectrum plants flower a little differently. One has lots of pink and purple with just a little white. Another has mostly white with random areas of purple-fantasized pink. The third is a balance between the others. Equal parts white and fantasized pink. These girls are gorgeous! Ruffly flowers packed so tight you have to look to find the spent blossoms! A little "thirsty", so monitor water needs daily. I just love them!!!!!
Playful Spectrum
This african violet is one of my favorites! It is a very hardy free bloomer. I have several of them in various size pots. The largest one is in a 5 inch pot and is just shy of 13 inches across. I've had that particular one for 10 years and it has been blooming most of that time! I find that when the house is cooler, the fantasy streaking is more pronounced. If you like the blue fantasy and two tone colors, this is definitely one for you!!!
