Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Optimara Ever Grace is a large standard. The flowers are pansy-shaped, white in color with a bright blue border along the edge of the wavy petals. The upper petals are framed by a rich, bright green fringe. The plant's leaves are light green and wavy. The variety is distinguished by abundant, year-round flowering.

In patent documentation, an African violet with an absence of stamens is described under the name Grace. It is important not to confuse these varieties with the achimenes BriD's Grace, which belongs to the same family but is not a saintpaulia.
