Here’s an African Violet Cousin that will catch the eye 
of every visitor with its extra broad dark velvety-like deeply 
colored bronze-green leaves with emerald veinings. As each 
bud opens it’s a sight to behold for the Fire Red trumpet 
shaped flowers are a startling contrast to the dark bronze- 
green foliage. 
Scarlet Red ‘“Episcias” grow in an interesting manner, 
the mother plant sends out runners, or stolons, to propagate 
itself, much in the manner of the strawberry plant in your 
garden. These stolons in turn send out others and soon 
you have a delightful plant for a hanging basket. 
The flowers seem to be cut with a tiny pair of pinking 
shears, are a true scarlet, that appear on the new stolons as 
well as.the mother plant.
