The Perfect Window!

One of my longtime customers recently sent me the below photo and I can see why she LOVES her violets.  She has the perfect window for them and they certainly are rewarding her with an abundance of bloom.

The "perfect window" normally has an eastern exposure (Northeast or Southeast).  Ideally, you want the window to provide bright, indirect light while maintaining a "comfortable" temperature.  The rule of thumb there is, "If you'd be comfortable sitting there...your violets should be too!"

Remember, if you don't have a "Perfect Window" you can always use florescent lighting to provide the necessary light.  See some of my past blog posts for lighting tips and techniques.

  1. Placement of those violets on that window sill is perfect. I find it very refreshing to see flowers inside a home. Fresh flowers are best. Choose those that are in season. Experiment with different combinations to fit the overall look you are aiming for.
