EK Blue Eyed Russia

Average Rating 4.7 out of 5

Big Blue

Very pretty light blue flowers and very big too. I have this plant for over a year and it seems it was blooming non stop for a long time. After some rest it has new flowers again. This plan doesn't require any special care.

Love Blue Eyed Russia!

For me, this is an easy, fast grower, and easy to propagate from leaves. Flowers are large, and just a bit deeper in color than pictured. Shapes well for home or show, and is now one of my favorites. Didn't do as well under LED lighting, but really took off when I switched my original plant to fluorescent lighting.

Inconsistent

First picture is most accurate to what mine blooms like, pale lilac and not pink. It is a ready bloomer that isn't getting gigantic, so I would recommend it. Some blooms are with darker edge, some flat, some frilled. I like it, but the search for a perfect blue shall continue. Looking forward to its matured blooms though, maybe after a year. Will leave another review then as well

My Current Favorite

I have to admit, I was fairly unimpressed when the first blossom started to open. "Kinda small, like a Blue Dragon wannabe," and then the flower grew and grew and grew. The plant is now completely crowned with huge, beautiful blossoms, each 2. 5 inches across or more. The plant is flat, symmetrical and beautifully shaped. It's definitely a contender for growing for show. I can now see why it's become so popular. Fabulous variety, good grower, good bloomer.

Gorgeous cluster of sky blue ruffles!

I just love this Russian violet. The color and shape are lovely in a cluster. I never knew about the large ruffly AF bloom types until recently. Now I want a dozen!

One Of The Best Russians

This is a goof-proof African violet, I've won best violet in the show with it. The blooms last, they are present perfectly, there are many per blooms stem, with thick petal substance, and they are supported too. The foliage shapes all by its self into a perfect show plant. Even if you don't grow for showing it's a must-have.

Beautiful!

Lovely lavender blue flowers, blooms nearly constantly, one of my favorites!

Eye catcher!

This violet is one of my all time favorites!! The picture, as is so often the case with violets, does not do it justice. Large beautiful sparkly blossoms and very pretty foliage. I highly recommend.

Blue Eyed Russian

One of the most beautiful violets I've ever seen. It has become one of my favorites, out of my 200 or so, and is very hardy. Everyone should have one of these, just gorgeous!

EK Blue-Eyed Russia

This was the first of the Russian violets that I have grown and the best as it is truely a magnificent plant that grows large and forms easily as a show plant. The beautiful eye-catching blue flowers with purple edging stand proudly in mass above the the medium green pointed show foliage. It also reproduces from cuttings easily.

Gorgeous

This is an amazing African Violet, the flowers are nicely formed, lavender edged purple with blue eyes. It produces lots of flowers - it is a gorgeous African Violet.
