VIOLET June 2008
PLANT DESCRIPTION
Violets are a small perennial ground cover herb that spread by runners and grow from 10 to 20 centimetres high. The leaves are a rich green and sort of heart shaped. The flowers have a beautiful subtle perfume and range in colours from violet, blue, purple, white, and pink.GROWING TIPS
Violets like a semi shaded position with protection from the hot afternoon sun. Soil should be well drained, rich and kept moist in hot dry weather. Violets are quiet hardy and tolerate low temperatures. The plants are easily propagated by division of old plants. These delightful plants can also be grown in containers to add a bit of perfume and colour to the garden at this time of the year.| 83 |
