I recently purchased a Optimara EverFloris- EverLove.
Variety Number: 960 Bloom Type: White Frilled-Edge Bloom Color: Red. LeafType: Wavy Leaf Color: Dark green, red reverse leaf.
I would like to know if anyone has propagated a leaf from this type Violet, and if the new will look like the parent?

Yes I have, and yes it will.

I don't remember the patent status of the "space baby" violets, though, so check before propagating them to sell.

Very pretty plant!!
