Saintpaulia 'Light Blue'
Saintpaulia 'Light Blue' is a graceful African violet with velvety green leaves and clusters of soft, light blue flowers. Compact and free-flowering, it adds a delicate splash of colour to windowsills, desks, or small decorative indoor displays.
This variety thrives in bright but indirect light and, with consistent care, can bloom several times a year. Its subtle pastel colouring and tidy size make it an ideal choice for softening smaller spaces or adding to a mixed collection of African violets.
