The "official" name for the home violet is saintpaulia. It is prized for its velvety leaves and an incredible amount of all kinds of petal colors. This diversity provides an impressive number of varieties of violets, which breeders have bred many.

The home violet belongs to the genus Saintpaulia, to the family Gesneriaceae. It is a perennial herb with a weak rhizome. The stems of the violet are fleshy. Depending on the type, they are either shortened - and then the leaves form a rosette. Or the stems are elongated - in this case, the flower will have several outlets. The rosette can be small - 6 cm, or up to 60 cm in diameter.

A distinctive feature of violet leaves is a velvety surface. The color of the leaf is often green, but it can be with an ash or golden tint.

Saintpaulia petals are located in the same row. If there are two such rows, then this is a semi-double type of violet, and if there are more of them, it is terry. The edges of the petal can be strongly corrugated or curved in light waves. Saintpaulia has a wide range of shades - its buds are white, pink, purple, blue. Coloring can be monochromatic or variegated. The flower diameter ranges from 2.5 cm to 9 cm.

Saintpaulia, which can be grown on a windowsill, has over 30 thousand varieties. These varieties fit into 5 main types:

• star: the petals are the same size and evenly spaced in the center;
• bowl: the flower is in the shape of a bowl, the petals are not fused at the base;
• bell: the flower looks like a bell, the petals are fused at the base;
• pansies: the petals are arranged in two rows: 2 at the top and 3 at the bottom, the upper petals are smaller than the lower ones;
• wasp: 5 petals are separated: 2 upper ones are rolled into a tube, 3 lower ones hang freely.

It is also customary to distinguish variegated violets - with bright color of leaves and double flowers, collectible - with large buds and wavy petals, industrial - easy to breed Saintpaulias.

Among the tens of thousands of varieties of homemade violets, the most popular can be distinguished.

• The beauty queen.

Differs in a large double flower with bright crimson petals, iridescent purple. The foliage of the Goddess of Beauty is dark green, flat in shape. Bred by the breeder E. Korshunova.

• Black Pearl.

This is another variety bred by E. Korshunova. A distinctive feature is velvety, dark purple flowers. Saintpaulia of this variety creates an inflorescence in the form of a cap, in which there can be up to 8 corollas. One flower reaches 7 cm at its peak. The rosette at the Black Pearl is simple, of dark green foliage.

• Pauline Viardot.

Description of the variety: the wine color of this violet with a white border makes it perhaps the most noble representative of the entire family. The vertical arrangement of flowers adds solemnity. The rosette of this Saintpaulia is compact, large-sized flower. Created by Pauline Viardot E. Lebetskaya.

• Lovely Creole.

And again a variety from the breeder E. Lebetskaya. The beauty of Creole lies in its simplicity. The rosette of this violet is small and compact. At the same time, the buds are also small, the diameter of one does not exceed 5 cm. The advantage of the variety is that it has a lot of flowers, while all of them are of a beautiful dark blue color, bordered by a white edging.

These are not all the best varieties of Saintpaulia. The variety of these easy-to-care indoor plants is amazing. It is no coincidence that many flower growers collect in their home a whole collection of bright multifaceted violets.

The types of violets are very diverse and currently there are more than 300 of them. Originally a wild plant, breeders have developed new species of Saintpaulia suitable for home cultivation.

A dense bush of dark green leaves blooms in buds of dark purple and black flowers with a white edging along the edge of the petal. Rarely does the color change to burgundy.
