Harmony Violets were given to members for our next Who Grew It Best? Contest. Harmony Foliage's Hunter's Fire and Ice is a highly coveted, standard-sized African Violet (Saintpaulia) hybrid known for its striking, glowing blooms and crisp, snowy foliage. The "Fire" represents the vibrant, fuchsia-red double flowers, while the "Ice" refers to its heavily variegated green-and-white leaves. It is Charming & Rare African Violet from Harmony's Greenhouse.
Happy Summer! Think PINK!
