Saintpaulia clone grotei Silvert is a remarkable species. I believe it and other former species have recently been reclassified as subspecies. I haven't followed the reclassification very closely so I'm not an expert in this area but did want to share with you how well and free blooming some of the original African violets can be under the same care as their modern day hybrids.
A friend of mine does happen to be an expert in this area so I'll get the scoop on the reclassification and pass it along.
Anyway, if you're not growing this remarkable plant you should. I grow it as a trailing variety and it does quite well.
Visit my eBay store at
Hoovers Hybrids to see this variety and others.
