Everfloris African violets
In a sensational effort that launched African Violets into a new frontier, the Optimara Space Violet program put more than 25,000 seeds into orbit for nearly six years. This unusual experiment turned out to be one giant leap that has produced significant and exciting characteristics for African Violets. These characteristics are available in a series commonly known as "Space Violets." The EverFloris series is comprised entirely of African Violets that have been developed from the Space Violet program. They are bigger and easier to grow, with larger, fuller blooms that flower continuously. When fully mature, these Everfloris African violets are over 16" in diameter, making traditional African Violets look small by comparison.
