S ionantha

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

Great place to start!

I began growing several species this year. I love them all, but S ionantha has been the easiest to grow. Beautiful, sturdy plant that has been blooming non-stop! Highly recommend!

Beginner’s fave

I got my first try of growing violets with S Ionantha. It’s blue violet colors were an eye catcher and it was easy to grow. With a beginner’s luck, this one is a winner.

Such a happy bloomer!

I thought I would try one of the species and this was one of the first ones I got. It just keeps growing and blooming. The flowers are small and do not last long but there are always new ones coming to replace them. I love having a violet with the species history and especially one that has been in bloom since I got it months ago!

constant bloomer

This was my first species plant. I absolutely recommend this plant!!! It has not stopped blooming, under lights, for months. The picture looks like my plant. Loaded with blooms!!!

Quick growing and blooming!

I love this one so much! It arrived already in bloom, grew quickly, and has continued to bloom since its arrival. I bought it along with a few other varieties, and it's grown more and bloomed more than any other. Perfect for a beginner!
