This little beauty is certainly one of my very most favorite. Dark green foliage with bright pink flowers. The picture didn't capture just how pink it really is. Does take some time to blossom when started from leaf.

Some info on winter shipping

Yes, I still ship violets in the winter. Here are the particulars:



Starting November 2, winter shipping rates will apply. 8 violets will ship for 12.00 east of the Mississippi and 14.00 for west of it.  This includes postage, heat pack, and 4" building insulation. I have had great success with winter shipping. This method has allowed plants to sit on porches in below zero weather  (not recommended). Because I guarantee live delivery, I reserve the right to determine weather to be too hazardous to ship and will hold the violets until I deem it to be safe to send. Expect some delays if the northeast experiences severe winter weather.

The picture didn't catch the color as well as I would have liked. It is darker, more burgundy red.
