Large smoky lilac double flowers. Cap flowering at any age. The first flowering, and immediately lush and captivating! A lot of buds. The variety keeps flowers fresh for a long time, is not capricious, grows quickly, and blooms in a cap. It has strong short peduncles located vertically.

Unpretentious, always with flowers. There are three flowers on the peduncle. Not demanding on lighting. Wherever it stands, even on the side of the lamp, even in the farthest corner of the shelf, it always forms the perfect socket and the perfect hat. The flowers don't even lean towards the lamp.

Tsvetun, at the same time, stands on the north window both in summer and winter and does not even raise his hands up. In summer, the blooms are brighter and richer in color. The variety loves regular watering and good humidity. It conveys varietal characteristics well when propagated by cuttings.

A cat is a mammal of the cat family of the order Carnivora. The domestic cat is one of five subspecies of the wild cat (Felis silvestris). Currently, there are about 600 million domestic cats in the world, about 200 breeds have been bred. Secondary feral cats can exist in urban ecosystems without direct human intervention. In urban environments, stray cats often form entire colonies in which their offspring are raised together.

Do you know that…?

Two-color and three-color non-fantasy varieties. By two-color we mean varieties with a spot on each petal (the so-called finger color or imprint), an eye, a double border, a wide chimera-like border or smooth color transitions. Such varieties, unlike fantasy ones, usually pass on varietal characteristics to the offspring, that is, the likelihood of getting the sport here is quite low.

wild violet

When it comes to wild violet, it is worth understanding that this variety represents a whole group of plants , diverse in:

Appearance;
Shape;
And the type of flowering.

In addition, each of the subspecies has its own color scheme, as well as features :

Transplants;
Care;
And reproduction.

In nature, a group of wild violets is a fairly unpretentious plant , so if you need to replant its representatives at home, any soil will do.

ATTENTION! Representatives of the genus often grow in fields, as well as in forest areas or on mountain peaks.

The field violet is most often found in the west , as well as in the south of Siberia. In addition, this flower is suitable for the climatic conditions of central and western Europe.

The main feature can be considered the ability of the plant to easily adapt to any climate changes. Field beauties are able to withstand both heat and fairly severe frosts. However, this will not affect their development or flowering.

Unlike indoor ones, field Saintpaulias do not suffer from :

From lack of lighting, heat;
And they do not require regular watering.

It is also important that absolutely any soil is suitable , and they can also be grown in open ground.

The wild violet group consists of more than ten plant species. They all differ in shape, size, and color. Additionally, some of them have straight stems, while others are considered to be so-called stemless plants.

The main difference between wild and garden violets can be called the unpretentiousness of the former to certain climatic conditions , or specific specialized care.
