Most kind of violets are low growing, compact bushes, but some are more upright and may be a foot tall. Some of the species have delicately perfumed blossoms born amid heart-shaped, deep green leaves. In colour, violets range from white to light yellow and blue to purple. Although perfumes are made from violet odor, most violets are odorless. Sometimes the blooms are crystalised onto candies or are used in salads. In the wild state, most violets grow on rich, moist soils in the shade of trees or bushes. Wild violets multiply by means of seeds or runners which spread out from the parents plants and take root. The two most important rules in the care of violets is to give enough but not too much moisture and to supply plenty of shade. Early spring is the best time to plant them. If they grow slowly weeding will be necessary. Often they grow vigorously and compete readily with other plants. Source: flowers-cs.com |
