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.

Colonialism not dead yet
This is a review of the 2004 Grove paperback edition of Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth The Wretched of the Earth is the most famous work of Algerian revolutionary Franz Fanon (1925-1961) finished and published shortly before his death (he died of leukemia). Fanon is known above all as a theorist of revolutionary violence and a champion of its therapeutic good for the oppressed. However, this book is not about armed struggle only; it covers many other topics: theory of class conflict in colonies, revolutionary process and subjects of social change in the Third World, the future of new independent states (former colonies), strategies of building Third World—First World relations in a right way, the relationship between the struggle for national culture and national liberation struggles, consequences of colonialism for both the colonizer and the colonized, etc. It’s a book of an angry man; the author's revolutionary pathos and standing with the oppressed (‘the wretched of the earth’) are noticeable. Though Fanon wrote his book drawing on the experience of the Africa of the 1950s an acute reader can easily notice similarities and parallels with what’s going on in the underdeveloped countries all over the world. The book can be of particular use for anthropologists, historians, philosophers, sociologists, as well as for those interested in cultural studies. I prefer Richard Philcox’s translation to the one published in 1963. Citizens of the global South can skip Jean-Paul Sartre’s preface; let the author speak for himself.

Influential and Insightful
Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth is an important document in the history of imperialism capturing the state of the Algerian revolution and the struggle for independence in the Third World at a crucial time. The year was 1961, and the book was published just before Fanon's premature death. Algeria was a year away from independence. The Congo had just achieved a travesty of independence. The Cuban revolution was still fresh. Fanon was born in Martinique but was fully committed to the Algerian cause by the end of his life. His insights into the pitfalls threatening newly-independent nations have proved to be uncannily accurate. His voice is of his time and ahead of his time. I would recommend this book to those wanting to learn more about the Algerian War and to those curious about the huge effect of this book on the leftists of the 1960s.

A SIXTIES CLASSIC WE HAVE MOVED ON FROM OR BACK OF/
Format: Paperback
i am 90 years old. i was a student in the 60s but i had already served in the military so i was already in my 30s. Which meant with a wife and twins i was more concerned with earning a living and finishing my doctorate than participating BUT it was a time when we swung one way as a nation and we were part of the post war swing of the world. The world had developed empires, WW1 began their downfall, ww2 pretty much finished the rest BUT it opened the door for new imperialism. On one hand colonialism melted away. The greatest empire ever, the British faded to legend and an island itself breaking up. American imperialism sprouted along with Soviet. And now China and Russia. One old model, Russia, one new model China. But the world i cyclical not progressive so China may become another imperial power. Fanon is an antidote as are other writers of the 60s so good to see new editions. Many rebels are now out of print. History is always ignored but it is always present.

Surprisingly fun and informative- a good series!
Format: Paperback
Bought this and the Paris book for an 11 year old girl before a trip to those cities. Although I felt like some of the quiz activities seemed a little too easy for her, the book provided an incredible array of information (current, historical, cultural, cuisine etc) presented in an entertaining way. She seemed to enjoy the book before and during the trip. She likes to read, and enjoyed getting a preview and information about of some of the places and things they would see. Would buy another in the future if they plan to travel to somewhere else covered in the series.
