National Garden Bureau named 2024 "The Year of the African Violet"

The delicate beauty of African violets has graced American homes and greenhouses for well over a century. Although new varieties, African Violet Heirloom seeds produce plants with similar colors and foliage shapes of older varieties beloved by previous generations of gardeners. The plants are large, reaching approximately 6 to 9 inches in diameter, with a similar height. They will begin to bloom 6 to 9 months after sprouting, setting pink and purple flowers several times a year, almost continuously with proper care. The cheerful violet-like blossoms perch just above a neat rosette of thick, fuzzy, dark green leaves, which keep the plant attractive even when not in bloom.

Saintpaulia ionantha varieties, commonly called African violets, these heirloom types are low- and slow-growing plants with a compact habit and free-flowering nature. African violets grow and bloom best in small pots, ideally only one-third the diameter of their leaf span, filled with light and porous potting mix having an acidic pH between 5.8 and 6.2. Place the plants within 12 inches of a bright window or under fluorescent or LED lights. If they receive adequate light, the leaves will grow in a flat horizontal wheel; inadequate light produces long leaf stems that reach upwards. To look their best, African violets require evenly moist soil—neither soggy, nor bone dry—and regular fertilization. Conditions with temperatures between 65 and 80°F with 40 to 60 percent humidity are ideal.

Grown in optimal conditions, African violets live about 20 years on average but can live up to 50 years. As a symbol of devotion, commitment, and faithfulness, African violets make a thoughtful gift, especially for Mother's Day and birthdays. They are popular with container gardeners and add a pop of color to home and office interiors.

If you are planning to start your African violet seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.

Comfy, Supportive, and Great for Lounging in Bed
This wedge-style headboard pillow has made sitting up in bed much more comfortable. The shape offers full upper-back support, with just the right amount of firmness to keep you propped upright without feeling stiff. It’s especially helpful for reading or watching shows in bed, and it stays in place well against a flat headboard. The purple color is rich and vibrant in person, and the removable cover is soft to the touch with a smooth finish. We really appreciated that the cover zips off easily and can be machine washed—it held its shape and color after laundering. The pillow also has a nice weight to it, so it doesn’t feel flimsy or slide down easily. This is a great addition for anyone who likes spending time sitting up in bed, whether for reading, working, or relaxing. It also doubles nicely as a decorative accent when the bed is made. The quality feels solid, and the size works well across the width of a queen bed without overwhelming the space. Id say it is ok for the price. It does retain warmth though

Thick, Supportive, and Cozy for Reading or Nursing
Size: Full, Color: Olive Green
This wedge pillow has been a great fit on my daughter’s bed. It’s super soft and cozy, and at the same time offers great support for sitting up in bed. The pillow is nice and thick, so you don’t sink into it — perfect for reading, studying, or lounging without needing multiple regular pillows. I tried it out myself and was surprised at how well it also works as support while nursing an infant. It props you up at just the right angle and feels stable without shifting around. The removable, washable cover is a big plus, and the olive green color is subtle yet stylish. I’m impressed enough that I’ll either be purchasing one for myself soon or adding it to my Christmas list.

Cozy, Cute, and Practical!
Size: Twin/Twin XL, Color: Light Pink
I got this pillow for my daughter to use when she heads off to college this fall, and she absolutely loves it! The light pink color is soft and calming, just what she wanted to match her dorm decor. It’s plush, supportive, and super comfortable, whether she's sitting up to read, study, or just relax. The removable, washable cover is a big plus, and the side pockets are so convenient for stashing her phone or glasses. While the pillow works great on its own, we still plan to get a detachable headboard to complement it for added support. Overall, this is a stylish and functional addition to her dorm setup, and we’re both really happy with the quality. Highly recommend!

Nice decor for the bed
Size: Twin/Twin XL, Color: Black
Ordered this in black and it looks nice in the bed that doesn’t have a headboard . It comes nicely sealed and once you take it out you need to keep hitting both sides to fluff it up throughout the day . This is not a firm pillow , but if left alone on the bed it holds up and looks nice . Once you lay on it then it feels like an over fluffy pillow that keeps you upright in a comfortable way . There is no smell so that as a plus . Nice decor for the bed !

Buttons
Size: King, Color: Dark Grey
Here's what I like: Appearance. I like the color and how it looks on my bed. It looks appropriate for a king sized bed. Removable cover. It was easy to take the cover off and wash, which I appreciate because I like my bedding to smell fresh and clean. What I don't like: It is a bit softer than I would like. But I can live with it. I thought it was a foam pillow inside, not fill. Maybe my fault though for not reading description or reviews. Quality. This is the biggest issue driving the rating. I removed the over upon opening the item so I could wash it. The buttons are attached the the inside cover. When removing the outside cover, you have to unbotton them. They are not secured well at all. From what I can tell the threading goes through the inside cover through the fill to the button on the opposite side. I suspect this because 4 buttons came off when I removed the outside cover. They are very loosely secured to each other. Be gentle when removing and replacing the cover. Now I will have to thread the buttons again and secure it. Just a pain for a brand new item. Should I expect that for the cost of the item? I dunno. Could have been a higher rating, but, damn those buttons.
