These herbaceous perennial flowering plants are native to Tanzania and south-eastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa. They are typically a common indoor plant, but can also be planted outside. African violets have long been associated with mothers and motherhood and given as a traditional gift to mothers in many cultures around the world. They are also associated with Easter and Valentine's Day.
