Hi everyone. My name is Rodica and I live in Phoenix, AZ.
I would like to know if anyone is growing the trailing african violets and if you know a source where I can get some.
I heard about them some time ago but none of our nurseries have any kind of trailing.
Thanks and good gardening

Hi Rodica
Nice to meet you ! I think most of us grow trailing African violets ! To me their most fun ! I grew most of mine from leaf and some plants.
You can do a search in African violets for lots of threads with information and pictures of our trailers were growing !
I'm sure people will be glad to share with you in Spring !
I will get some links out of sticky where I have bought some before !
I never did this before a link to a search for Afircan violet trailers !
Wonder if this works ??

Hi VT. They look like they are more fun to grow but I do not know why our nurseries are not carrying this kind. They got better but they still have a way to go.
I would appreciate any info you can give me regarding the links where I can purchase them.
Thanks and good gardening

The link above worked I did a search and in those threads are pictures or infomration about people growing trailers !
This is one a vintage Angel Tears trail ! I grew many, many or her by leaf, and shared many plants and leaves. I gave this one to Eunice !

You can book mark it all !
The first trailers came out in the fifties ! 50's was a wonderful year for African violets !!
