Rare yellow violets - TOP 10 varieties with splashes of yellow

Unfortunately, yellow violets do not exist in nature (Saintpaulias do not have the necessary gene responsible for the yellow color). But breeders could not leave it like that, and after many years of work they managed to create new varieties with yellow pigment, which we will talk about in this article.

It is not for nothing that the indoor viola is very popular among flower lovers. The variety of varieties of this plant is impressive and makes everyone want to have it at home.

Along with the commonly found violets in blue, purple, pink, red or white, gardeners appreciate the unique yellow varieties. These incredibly delicate and beautiful plants require special attention.

In this article I would like to talk about the characteristics of different varieties of yellow violets, share a rating of the most beautiful Saintpaulias of this shade and offer some tips to help grow a healthy and lush plant.

The yellow color of violets is not their natural shade, so not everyone can grow this plant at home. However, knowing the specifics and some nuances of care, it will be much easier to grow Saintpaulia of the desired shade.

Top 10 popular varieties

In this section we will provide photos and descriptions of violet varieties that are closest to the yellow color and available for home cultivation.

Majesty

Violet Majesty is characterized by wavy white flowers with a rich lemon yellow center. Large semi-double flowers are sometimes decorated with pink veins. The leaves are wavy, large, dark green.

Florists value this variety for its abundant and long-lasting flowering. A rather capricious flower that requires no temperature changes in the room and compliance with the correct watering regime.

AV-Canary

The double flowers of this violet fascinate with their tenderness. The wavy edges of their petals give it a special charm. The flowers are usually white, with bright yellow stripes emanating from the center.

The foliage has a rich green tint and has pronounced teeth along the edges of the leaf blade. Flowering is long and abundant.

LE-Golden Lion

The white-yellow flowers of this plant have a semi-double, wavy structure. They are distinguished by their rich yellow color, which can appear already at the time of the first flowering.

The foliage is tough, jagged, and pale green. The peduncles are quite long and cannot accommodate large flowers. Flowering is abundant, but short-lived - on average 2-3 weeks.

Golden autumn

An unusual variety that pleases with the shape of a flower resembling a star. The petals have downward wavy edges. White flowers with a yellow center can be single or semi-double. The yellow color appears as the rosette grows.

The leaves of this violet can be light green or variegated, with slightly wavy edges. The bush blooms profusely, about three weeks, 3-4 times a year.

Warm Sunshine (Sorano)

Feature: cream flowers up to 4 cm in diameter with yellow streaks from the center of the bud. They can be double or semi-double. The edges of the quilted dark green foliage are folded inward.

Flowering is long-lasting, but not abundant. The reason for this is that the buds bloom very slowly and while the young flower is still blooming, the previous one has time to die.

LE-Sasha

A magnificent variety reminiscent of peony flowers. Its distinctive feature is very large pale pink flowers interspersed with bright yellow. They have a double or semi-double wavy structure.

The foliage stands out for its shine and deep dark color. Flowering is not abundant, often single-flowered and very short-lived.

A very capricious growing flower.

Ray of light

An original variety, distinguished by a special bright color: yellow “rays” are found on creamy pink petals.

Flowering is abundant, but not simultaneous. The foliage is dark green.

Mellow Yellow

The surprisingly delicate flowers of this variety are light yellow with bright yellow stripes in the form of rays. Sponge buds with wavy edges. The leaves are curved.

The yellow color does not appear immediately; the first flower is usually almost white. The flowers are quite small, often irregular in shape.

The abundance and duration of flowering do not differ.

Lemon Kisses

The peculiarity of this variety is its large double flower of lemon color. It has an impeccable shape. Yellow pigment begins to appear on 3-4 flowers.

Does not differ in abundant and massive flowering.

AB-Yellow Rose

A unique variety that delights with its color: white and yellow petals have a pink border along the edge. The flower itself resembles a small rose. The leaf part of the plant is usually dark green in color.

Blooms profusely, but not for long. Very high maintenance.

Usambara violet

,
Saintpaulia
, or as we simply call it,
violet
, is a houseplant that decorates the windowsills of many flower lovers. Violets (Saintpaulias) are very diverse flowers: with simple and variegated foliage, with double and simple flowers, in the shape of a star or “pansy” of a wide variety of colors and shades. This diversity is what attracts the attention of both amateurs and collectors to them. My collection contains standard varieties of violets of domestic, Ukrainian and foreign selection. It includes both the best varieties of Saintpaulias (violets) of past years, as well as new ones.

Fuchsia

- a very beautiful indoor plant. It is of great interest to gardeners because of its abundant and long flowering from spring to late autumn. Fuchsia is a versatile plant. It is suitable for decorating a home window sill, a balcony, or a summer house. Fuchsias come in ampelous and bush varieties. This allows them to be grown in hanging baskets and formed into standard trees and beautiful bushes. Fuchsia colors are very diverse: from delicate, pastel tones to bright, contrasting ones. Flowers are simple, semi-double and double. I prefer large-flowered, double fuchsias. They dominate my collection. The best fuchsia varieties of recent years are annually replenished with new products from foreign selection.

Gloxinia

I got them recently. Due to space constraints, I tried to collect only semi-miniature varieties. However, nothing worked out, and standard varieties also settled in my collection of gloxinias.

Does the orange violet exist?

It has not yet been possible to develop orange varieties of Uzambara violets. However, breeders do not give up attempts to create this shade in a rich palette of purple colors.

Ness's Orange Tea Violet or Orange Pekoe is a stunning coral-colored flower with many benefits, including profuse nodding blooms. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the orange and purple varieties. The name is given in honor of the dynasty of the Princes of Orange.

Interesting! Orange is a garden violet, more commonly known as a pansy. Its color spectrum is varied and contains specimens of rich orange color.

Orange Perfection Horned Violet is a garden plant. Classified as orange-purple. The flower is distinguished by an abundance of bright shades from pale yellow to bright orange.

Care instructions

Because these crops are very delicate, they require more attention.

I want to share some useful tips:

  • When watering from the air, make sure that water does not fall on the leaves and flowers;
  • There is no need to spray the plants. To hydrate, simply place a cup of water next to it;
  • do not expect the desired color at the first flowering;
  • maintain optimal temperature. Remember that the yellow pigment only appears at 18 degrees Celsius. As the temperature rises, the richness of the yellow tint disappears;
  • violets need soft, diffused light;
  • when feeding yellow varieties of violets, it is recommended to reduce the dose by half than required in the instructions.
