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.

Best. Toy. Ever. For My Superchewer!
Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green, Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green
Best toy ever! My dog destroys toys. Usually within about 15 minutes, she has de-squeakered and defluffed them. By the second day, she has tug-of-war-ed them to shreds. From the time we got this adorable dragon out of the package, she LOVED it. She set to work. It’s been a week, and while she has dewinged him, he lost his squeaker after a few days, and he looks a bit rough, he’s still in one piece! And, we’ve had HOURS of tug-of-war with minimal rips! She’s obsessed 😍 I ordered two more today. We’ve finally found the perfect toy for my baby!

My 90 lb. Pitbull's All-Time Fave Toy
Size: Large, Color: Coral, Size: Large, Color: Coral
I ordered a plethora of new toys for Bruce to keep him occupied while I am working remotely from home. Poor guy gets so bored while I'm stuck in front of my computer 8+ hours a day. All the other toys are animated, but this one is just a big floppy chewy squeaky toy. Bruce quickly lost interest in all the other chirping, hopping, and twirling toys and fell in love with "Diny". When I opened Diny and gave it to Bruce, he had the elated and surprised look of a 3 yr old at Christmas. And he stayed that happy for hours, and then each time he picked up Diny to play. Diny became his go-to toy over all others (and there are many!). It is well made out of durable fabric, and they did not stuff it full of kapoc (I hate kapoc in dogs toys!). And it is delightfully low-tech. Normally he tears a squeaky toy apart as soon as he can isolate the squeaky mechanism. But cleverly, the squeaky box is loose in the long belly so it moves from one end to the other as the toy is handled. That made it difficult for Bruce to locate it. The toy remained in good condition for 2 weeks of near constant attention by Bruce. But yesterday he zeroed in on the squeaky box and ripped Diny to shreds. I was sad to see Diny go so soon. But boy-howdy was Bruce happy with it. I'm gonna buy another because we liked it so much. And so did I : )

This is one “under the radar” gem!!
Size: Large, Color: Coral
This is one “under the radar” gem!! Very strong internal squeaker and way tougher than it looks. My big 125lb Shepard-Husky mix gave it heck, then made it his new buddy. He’ll occasionally give it the business but on the whole, it’s surprisingly tough and my big boy loves it. Nice price!!

Cute but small
Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green
Cute stuffy and has not yet ripped. While my dogs plays with it, the toy is a bit small for him. For reference he is 120lbs.

My Puppy Loves this Indestructible Dragon
Size: Large, Color: Pink, Size: Large, Color: Pink
My puppy (8 month old black lab mix) loves, loves, loves her dragon. She has had it for 2 months now. It is one of her favorites and gets daily rough play time. It's her go-to toy for fetch and tug games, as well as just general mouthy play. The squeaker gave out after about 4 weeks, but she would binge squeak for prolonged periods (kind of like chomping on gum) so it was almost a blessing when it went silent. She still chomps on it, but at least now I don't have to hear it. Other than the fact that it's a little grungy and bedraggled from so much loving, it is still in amazing shape. The seams and fur are all still intact. There are no visible holes, rips, or weak spots. I love Chew Guard Technology. This dragon replaced her goDog Iguana (from PetSmart) that developed a tear in the fur after about 4 months of heavy use. (It was superficial, just the outer fur layer and not the innards, but we disposed of it before she could eat more fur.) She can be pretty rough on her toys and I can never predict if any given toy will last minutes or months. The goDog stuffies definitely fall into the "months" category, even with rough daily use. Edit: The dragon lasted about 6 months of intensive, hard play before it developed a small tear in the fur. I patched it a couple times, but once my pup discovers a weak spot, it's the kiss of death for any stuffed item. We had to dispose of the dragon (so sad) to keep her from eating any more of the fur. We replaced the dragon with the goDog Chameleon, which is still going strong. I think we will go back to the dragon for our next toy because it's just so darned cute. We gave the dragon to my niece for her golden retriever puppy who is very chew-happy. That dragon is also doing well. You've just gotta love that chew-guard technology. This is one tough toy.
