Bristols Sunset

Average Rating 4.3 out of 5

Prolific Grower

I love this strep so far. It has not bloomed quite yet but it has grown very quickly under grow lights. Very excited to see it bloom.

Gorgeous crown!

The crown is high & well rounded. Lots of continuous blooms. I was sorry to see it slow down. Looking forward to its next round of blooms.

HEAVY Bloomer!

I have had this plant for two months, and it has literally quadrupled in size. Does not stop blooming -- currently has ELEVEN bloom stalks with multiple flowers on each one. Unbelievably vigorous plant -- highly recommend purchasing!

A lovely sunset

I ordered Bristol's Sunset in March/April. The plant was healthy and grew well, but did no bloom until late May. Since then it has been covered in lovely blooms

Bristol's sunset

Had this strep a long time ago and it was stunning. Excellent vigorous grower , heavy bloomer. Lost it with all my collection of plants due to a white fly out break. I am just now starting to get the courage to try again. Bristols sunset is one of the first that I need to try!

Not a violet--my mistake!

Plant looks healthy but disappointed that only had 2 leaves When received it. I will look at pictures MUCH more closely because I have had the best green thumbs with violets.

A true delight!

I was a bit surprised by some of the less than favorable reviews for this plant! I love it! It blooms very well for me, and the colors are splendid! It is quite forgiving, as I can sometimes be neglectful with watering! I think this is a variety worth giving a chance... you won't be sorry!

lovely plant

I bought this a few years ago, and it has always been very healthy and prolific bloomer. Just Lovely. I do divide it every year to encourage blooming, and it never disappoints.

love this one

Still the loveliest of the Rob's hybrids, imo. Have not had a problem getting it to bloom.

disappointing

Description was wonderful. Love streps with lots of blooms. This one rarely flowers. Its leaves are anemic looking even though I give it balanced african violet fertilizer with every watering.

stunning

I have had this for one year and it is blooming beautiful! The colors are outstanding and encouraged an artist friend of mine to paint it! A great choice!

Puzzled?

This looks like a beautiful plant! I ordered it almost 8 months ago and it has not bloomed yet. It has four leaves and has been repotted twice. I am puzzled by the plant. I grow large standard African violets, with many beautiful blooms and even start them from leaves but I can't get this to grow or bloom! I have to admit that it apears to be hardy. I have started twice to throw it away! But it keeps on living. I will give it a little longer!

Bristol's Sunset

If you choose only one strep to grow, this must be it. Showy, vigorous, and a dazzling beauty.
