Bristol's Ravishing Ruby

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

Current Favorite!

This plant arrived safe and healthy and settled in nicely! After a week I repotted it and it immediately began to push out new large growth. It now has 6 of the most gorgeous almost wine splashed looking flowers that really grab ones attention from the other side of a room! It's truly one of my favorites if not my current favorite and I cannot wait to see more from this plant! Thank you!

Ravishing indeed

This plant has done well for me so far after a month or so, the large blooms are a beautiful deep red with interesting white lines. I really love it.

Great little plant

I just received my order which included a very healthy Ravishing Ruby in bud. I am looking forward to raising it and the others I received (rapidly shipped and in great shape as always) under my new LED light set-up.

Ravishing Ruby

I love this plant..never had a strep grow so fast and get huge so fast! Its in full bloom after only 2 months! Its a joy to behold. I rate it as 5 stars!

Vigorous Bloomer

This plant is a very vigorous bloomer for me. This plant was amongst my first order from Violet Barn and it was the first to bloom out of 4 plants. My only complaint would be that the color of mine is more of a dark fuchsia than a red. Perhaps it is just my growing conditions. Regardless, it is a very vigorous and free-blooming plant!

Great red!

Ravishing Ruby was my first strep, and I am still enjoying it. I love red flowers, and it produces plenty of them atop well behaved, compact foliage. It has bloomed better under lights for me but doesn't seem to mind if I move it around sometimes.

Great!

Beautiful plant with deep red blooms. Great bloomer and grower!

ravishing ruby

beautiful plant... I had a great time at the violet barn. Back for more can always find room for one more.

Awesome!

I didn't write FREEBIE in my box so won't get a free plant but that doesn't matter. I wanted to tell VB thank you for such beautiful plants. My order a couple weeks ago and the ones I got Fri. we're all packaged perfectly. The plants were all beautiful! This Ravishing Ruby only had three leaves but already had two of the biggest most beautiful blooms on it. I can't wait till it gets bigger if its flowers look like this as a tiny plant. It is awesome! Thank You V B.

A winner!!!

This is a beautiful plant. It stays small and seems to be constantly covered in bright red blooms. A real winner!
