African Violet Seed
Each hermetically sealed packet contains approx. 100
seeds (approx. 50 seeds in the packets of miniatures) and includes detailed
planting instructions. You can expect to get 25 - 30 plants from each packet.
Many customers report very high germination rate. The fun of seed growing is the
unpredictability factor. You may get something very ordinary, or something truly
extraordinary. Each seedling from the five seed types listed below will be
different from the others. They will display various bloom colors, leaf sizes,
shapes, etc. Each plant will have its own personality, and you can name your
favorites and perpetuate them by leaf cuttings. Bloom colors will vary in all of
the types.
For plants grown from the Green Leaf, Trailing,
Miniature and Variegated type seeds only the foliage can be predicted. The
blooms will vary widely in color, size and type. Even on plants grown from the
Fantasy type seed, the bloom color may vary greatly. There is no record kept of
which varieties were used to make the crosses that produced this seed.
I suggest you plant only half of the seed packet
at a time. That way if you have a failure you won't have lost all of the seed,
and if all of those planted sprout you won't have so many to work on at a time.
Violet seedlings usually bloom 5 to 7 months after you plant the seeds. Because
the seed is slow to grow and bloom this project is not suitable for most
children.
Trays, dome covers,
potting medium, and pots are sold separately in the
Growing Supplies catalog. The
pots, soil, trays, domes, and peat pellets shown in the instructions are not
included with the seeds. Beginners will find the Green Leaf Seed
and the Trailing Habit Seed best with which to start. There is no on-line
ordering capability. Orders come to me by phone, e-mail, or postal mail.
