Notes
Asian violet (Deinostigma tamiana) is a perennial for containers and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves through the year, and it adapts to acid, neutral, or alkaline soil.
Pairs well with Mini monstera, Happy bean plant, and Chinese taro.
