As described
First bloom, large and as described. Exactly like the picture
Beautiful!
I bought one of these several years ago from Violet Barn and it has bloomed beautiful several times over the years!
Interesting
This is a follow up to my review of 8/14/14. I recently rooted a leaf of Black Pearl Sport. From one leaf, I had 4 babies. 1 baby is true to Black Pearl Sport. The other three babies reverted back to Black Pearl. I’m a novice at rooting leaves, so don’t know if this is common, but I thought it was interesting. I love both versions of the plant.
Unstable
This is a great violet, but it is unstable. It reverts to its parent Black Pearl after few blooms. It is possible to grow it again if you root the lightest leave.
EK Black Pearl Sport = EK Gray Ocean
I’ve seen pictures of this AV online before, but always passed it by because I though it was drab looking. However, I was at a plant festival this weekend and was able to see several of these in person. It is a gorgeous plant! Mine (yes, I had to buy one!) has deep purple mixed with white in varying amounts on each flower. I love the contrast! The flowers are truly double, full, large, and anything but drab!
