Saintpaulia Ionantha
The leaves of this plant spread themselves laterally just over the soil, forming a rosette, in the centre of which spring up large violet-like flowers.
It is a continuous bloomer.
A rather light, rich soil or vegetable mould suits it best.
The seed, which is very minute, should be sown early in spring, in gentle heat.
To prevent it being washed away, the pots may stand up to the rims in water for a while when the ground wants moisture.
