African violets are easy to grow. They bloom throughout the year and need no repotting A normal enviornment is all what is required
They are propagated through leaf cuttings and come in many colours. But they are called violets as most have the hue of the violet colour
The pots in which they can grow could be small and many are kept on window sills. I had them a few years ago.
A lovely gift to be given for birthdays and other milestone memories.

My grandmother used to grow those. They never lasted that long, when I had them.

@allknowing they don't grow outdoors here, too cold. They were all in the house.

Rather than giving flowers giving plants is a better idea.
