Bloodshot

Average Rating 4.6 out of 5

Perfectly named

This small standard is very hardy. Variegation depends on lighting and temperature. The flower color gets deeper as the flower ages and does look “bloodshot” at maturity. Overall a nice plant to add to your collection.

Beautiful foliage

Blooms pair up nicely with this outstanding foliage

Beautiful Plant

This is one tough violet. It has grown and survived despite my occasional lack of attention. Leaf shape is very different, and leaf color goes well with the gorgeous flower color. Highly recommended

Beautiful Foliage!

I received this violet in perfect condition, as usual. Violet Barn never disappoints. Plenty of buds waiting to bloom, but the foliage is just so beautiful. Dark green, lovely rosette edged in pink. I can't stop looking at it.

Good for compact pots

I have this variety in a collection of smaller containers for a tight space and they make a big impact with minimal effort. Definitely recommend if this is your situation!

Nice Plant

I previously purchased this violet for my Mom and at first it was a slow grower but has since taken off & is blooming very pretty red flowers She does keep it under lights

bloodshot revisited

On the second blooming, I did indeed get some deep red blooms. They were indeed beautiful and I was delighted by the color. The leaf variegation is also quite attractive, and forms a nice rosette without grooming. The issue I still have with it is that it is very slow growing, seldom blooms, and has had only a few blooms when it does. I don't know whether it needs something ( e.g. more or less light, fertilizer, or potting mix) else in the way of care, but it's not doing all that well for me. I grow in natural light so maybe it would be happier under artificial. I hope someone has suggestions that would help.

Bloodshot

Received this plant recently. The foliage is lovely and as always from Violet Barn, well-grown and vigorous. It even had a bloom - but there was NO red in it at all. It was a dusky pink with some darker streaks. I'm hoping that as it becomes more mature I will see more red, but if I don't I will be extremely disappointed. I am going to give this 3 stars for now because it's only the color of the flower that is so wrong. I'll write a new review if the flowers start showing the deep red.
