The Burgundy African Violet, known as Saintpaulia ionantha, is a beloved indoor plant celebrated for its lush, velvety leaves and vivid, richly burgundy blooms. Its compact size, long flowering period, and relatively simple care requirements make it a top choice for both novice and seasoned houseplant enthusiasts. 

When grouped with other African Violet varieties, such as blue, white, or the most popular blue cultivar, the Burgundy type adds richness and depth to the color palette, creating a charming miniature floral display that looks like a living bouquet.  

When fully mature, Burgundy African Violets can grow up to 12 inches wide and 8 inches tall.

Their tidy, symmetrical growth habit makes them perfect for small containers, teacup planters, or decorative pots. 

Their manageable size means they fit beautifully in tight indoor spaces such as desks, windowsills, or shelves

The African violet plant’s charm lies in its rosette of fleshy, fuzzy leaves that form a tidy mound, often with slightly scalloped or heart-shaped edges.

These leaves are soft to the touch and typically rich green, providing the perfect backdrop to their jewel-toned blooms.

The Burgundy variety produces clusters of long lasting velvety, dark red-purple flowers that seem to glow under the right lighting. The contrast between the foliage and flowers creates a striking visual that draws attention, whether it's on a windowsill, plant shelf, or grouped with other varieties. 

When it comes to care, these African violet plants thrive in well-drained  soil, opens in a new tab.

When grown indoors, they prefer temperatures between 65–75°F and humidity levels around 50–60%.

They prefer bright, indirect light and do best near east- or north-facing windows or under fluorescent grow lights for about 12–14 hours a day.

When grown outdoors, they are only viable in USDA zones 11–12 and must be protected from direct sunlight and cold temperatures. 

For Full Care Instructions & More info - Please see the most popular variety – Blue African violet for our full care instruction.

Watering should be done with lukewarm water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and it’s best to water from the bottom to avoid spotting the leaves. During the active growing season (spring through fall), feed them once a year with a balanced, diluted NPK fertilizer formulated for African violets.  

One of the unique aspects of the Burgundy African Violet is its ability to bloom continuously under the right conditions. It is also non-toxic to pets, making it a safer option for households with cats or dogs.  

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Burgundy African Violet is a low-maintenance, pet-safe, and visually stunning plant that thrives indoors and rewards its caretaker with vibrant, long-lasting blooms. Whether displayed solo in a decorative pot or grouped with other colorful varieties, it brings a timeless elegance and cheerful energy to any room. With the right care, this striking variety will continue to bloom and brighten your home year-round.

Great, except for the edible one
Flavor Name: Chicken & Original, Size: X-Small
My elderly dog and my puppy both love these bones. They are 9lbs and 4.5lbs respectively and this is a good size for them. They also like the next size up and it is manageable for them as well. The only gripe I have is the edible one, it comes apart in larger chunks (that are still very hard) and my dogs swallowed a few before I noticed how large the pieces were. I decided to throw that one away. Its been over a week and no negative side effects so maybe just me being overly cautious. For the price (gold box) just the other two bones were worth it. They last pretty much forever for my dogs, and I would say they are moderate chewers. 4 stars due to the issue with the edible bone.

My little dog loves these.
Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small, Flavor Name: Bacon & Peanut Butter, Size: X-Small
These are the perfect size, texture, and density for my 9 lb chihuahua (rescued, of course! :)) He has a tiny mouth with tiny teeth and very little bite force so he needs a chewybone with a lot of give. I've been impressed with how clean these help keep his teeth (it's the saliva flow during the chewing that breaks down any lingering debris and the action of the nubs against the teeth and gums helps to rub off tartar and plaque, if you care to know the *why* behind it.) These are ideal for dogs like mine, and since small dogs tend to have a lot of dental problems due to overcrowded mouths, I couldn't be more grateful that these exist. These would probably also be good for the many rescued puppy mill dogs, who are often small breeds, who have dental issues due to malnutrition and exacerbated by overbreeding, especially in females whose bodies often rob the jaw bones of calcium for the sake of the fetuses they carry, when the pregnant dogs aren't given an appropriately enriched gestational diet. That leads to the little bleppy tongues sticking out all over that we often see in the canine survivors of back yard breeding operations, puppy mills, and the like. There are a lot of these dogs being rescued and adopted in the U.S. right now and these would likely be ideal for them. (In case any adopters of these little survivors are reading this. :)) These are for gentle chewers only, and there are a lot of dogs who fall into that category. They aren't , however, for dogs with an average bite or higher, which is where some of the complaints you hear about these are coming from. Know your dog's chewing needs and buy the size that fits their mouth, tooth type, and bite strength. My dog barely puts a dent in these after a year or more of chewing (watch for any degradation of the plastic and replace as needed, of course.) For little dogs like mine, these are just fantastic and I hope Nylabone keeps making these type of chew toys to keep our dogs healthy. :)
