Classic beauty

Yes, it’s precious

Precious Red is an African violet that has been around for a long time. I haven’t had it in years, saw someone post about it recently, and I realized I wanted it back on my stands. I’m looking forward to growing it again.

Sweetest Little Plant

Sweetest little plant. This is one of the first violets that I ever got. I positively adored her and was heartbroken when I lost her due to my overwatering. Happily I looked and you still carry her. That should tell you something. I just finished ordering another Can’t wait til she gets here. Order her and you won’t be disappointed

Lovely Red!

This is perhaps one of the most beautiful reds I have ever seen. The dark foliage is stunning!

Precious red mini african violet

I received the plant in good condition despite cold weather. It started to bloom and has maintained a compact habit. It is doing well especially in an open terrarium- like shelf greenhouse. Very pleased with it's progress so far. Unfortunately, it is not blooming now along with my other violets because the weather is very hot

Goth Violet

Beautiful dark green foliage and deep red flowers, has an almost goth vibe! Arrived very healthy and already in bloom.

One of the minis

This is one of my all time favorite minis. I received a blue ribbon at show for this.

Gorgeous deep red!

What a gorgeous red. Rich velvety red. The plant is symmetrical in shape with pretty oval shaped leaves. I wish I could add a photo to show how lovely this semi violet is.

Velvet Red

I have wanted a pretty deep red AV to add to my collection, so I ordered this AV based on the photo. The flowers looked like they would be a deep red color. I have given this plant 5 stars because indeed, the blossoms are a lovely deep velvet red. I want to stroke the petals to feel the velvet they are so beautiful. The plant remains true to being a miniature AV with a beautiful crown of dark green foliage. The leaves are velvety looking and have a more elongated shape. And to my delight this AV has been in bloom for months. What a perfect Red to add to any collection.

If It's Red I'm Ready

II have recently fallen for minis. Red is missing from my collection.The reviews have won me over. I cannot wait. Have'nt ordered a plant from you that I don't love. Can't wait for Red

Helen Grogan Aug 15 2020, 21:52 PM

Lovely

I just received this little lovely a few weeks ago. The foliage growth is happening quickly. I can't wait for the Precious Red blooms! This was part of my very first order from Violet barn. I am impressed with the care in packaging and the plants arrived healthy and beautiful!

Precious Red is PRECIOUS!

This adorable, tiny mini has beautiful form with very dark green leaves. Mine has just started blooming again and the flowers are a beautiful red! I would highly recommend this beautiful mini African violet. The Violet Barn always sends their African violets perfectly packaged. I have ordered many plants from them over the years and every one comes in good condition.

Superior Plant

Excellent! Always want this one in my collection!

MaryLea Stephens Sep 25 2018, 07:38 AM

Perfect

I've had Precious Red a bit over a year now. Easy keeper, tons of blooms and small enough to grow anywhere! What more could you ask for? Love it!!!

True Miniature - Beautiful Form

This may be my favorite miniature violet. It is hardy, has beautiful form with minimal attention. The blooms are a true red and profuse. This plant is a gem in any collection.

Beautiful mimiature

This little plant is perfect in shape and flowers.

Beautiful plant

Love this plant with nice foliage and amazing blooms!

Impressed with the plants

I received my first shipment one month ago. I could not be more impressed with the care that went into packaging the plants for shipment. Plants were healthy and continue to thrive (in my care). I am ordering many more. Thanks Violet Barn

Very Pleased

Received my order of 5 plants and was pleasantly surprised at the care and attention to each plant being wrapped for shipping. I have had them about a month and I haven't killed any yet. Honestly, they are beautiful and I am afraid this has turned into an addiction. I want them all.

Barb Nixon Dec 08 2016, 12:32 PM

Beautiful

There aren't very many red mini african violets that bloom often and profusely with nice foliage. I grew this plant for a time, and then when I moved it got exposed to freezing temperatures and died. After growing many other red minis, I've missed this one! It's such a fantastic plant!! Highly recommend.

3rd mini purchase

This is my 3rd mini that I've purchased now from here, and of course packaging was impeccable. No blooms yet but still a cute tiny AV!!

Lizette Valadez May 26 2015, 01:59 AM

Beautiful plant

This is an excellent plant! The blooms are beautiful!

Anonymous Apr 20 2015, 13:07 PM

tiny leaves

This mini violet is very pretty and very tiny. Be careful repotting it as the stems are fragile.

Kris Bly Feb 12 2015, 19:54 PM

A very profuse bloomer!

This is one of my first true miniatures. It lives in my kitchen windowsill and blooms like crazy. I definitely get a lot of compliments on it because it's always in bloom when people come over. The leaves stay tiny, true to form. You don't have to "train" it to be miniature. I'd recommend this mini as a staple in any miniature collection.

Michelle Wickersheim Jun 30 2014, 22:42 PM

A must have mini

Great little plant, the symmetry is easy to achieve, the blossom count is heavy & the color is a pretty red. A must have mini!

Paula Bal Mar 12 2014, 23:57 PM

Georgeous Little plant

The photo doesn't do this one Justice. I live in Toronto so growing these Pittman varieties isn't always easy with the colder climate. And this one has taken me a good amount of time to grow on but it was well worth the wait. Such a beautiful plant and is just loaded with blooms. based on my experience not for the first time grower, but a definite show stopper once you have a little experience!!

Steve Kerr Oct 27 2012, 08:21 AM

Great Bloomer

I was getting back into African violets, and I had my new lights too close. I bleached the leaves on this one a little, but once I corrected the situation, to quote the person above, this little plant got down to business and bloomed and bloomed. I really enjoy it.

Mary Kathryn Wilson Jul 20 2012, 10:19 AM

Super Easy!

This is definitely in my top five of the best reds. When I first started growing African Violets, I made a lot of mistakes and definitely killed several plants, but this plant not only stayed alive, but bloomed and bloomed! When I put down leaves of this plant, it tends to be the first to grow into a full size plant and get busy blooming. I just love this variety so much. Unfortunately, this is not a good picture of this plant, I have seen much much better photos. The blooms tend to be fuller, rose-like. The foliage also is really really cute and extremely tidy. I just can't say enough about this variety!

Chris Abdo Feb 14 2012, 14:36 PM

Real show plant

This plant almost grows itself. Great symmetry, dark foliage and an easy bloomer. I won Best in Class with Precious Red.
