Description:
The African Violet is a small, herbaceous perennial native to Tanzania and southeastern Kenya. Known for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves and clusters of delicate flowers, this plant brings lasting charm indoors. Blooms appear in shades of purple, pink, blue, and white, often continuing throughout the year with the right care.

Compact in size, African Violets typically grow 6–8 inches tall and wide, making them an excellent choice for tabletops, desks, or windowsills. They thrive with an indirect view of the sky and consistent watering, preferring soil that stays slightly moist but never soggy.
