African Violet Seed

    Each hermetically sealed packet contains approx. 100 seeds (approx. 50 seeds in the packets of miniatures) and includes planting instructions. You can expect to get 25 - 30 plants from each packet.  Very high germination rate reported by most of our customers. The fun of seed growing is the unpredictability factor. You may get something very ordinary, or something truly extraordinary.  Each seedling from the three 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 three types. Only the foliage type can be predicted for violets grown from seed. The bloom color and type will vary widely. There is no record of which varieties were used to make the crosses.  We 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.
