Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have been told by several people that African violets are an inside plant. Well, I have found out that they do well outside. I set a few on a table on our patio this past summer. They did really well and kept flowers or blooms on them until cool weather. So, I feel that they can be either indoor or outdoor plants if given proper care. – A friend in North Carolina

One note: Don’t put the violets in direct sunlight, as it could burn the plants and kill them. Violets do need plenty of strong, filtered light. – Heloise
