About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Australian violet in this seed listing is identified conservatively as Viola spp. because the current images and supplier data do not confirm a single species. Seed-grown plants can develop low spreading foliage and small violet-and-white flowers, with natural variation expected among seedlings.
Grow in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. Sow according to the packet directions, keep the surface evenly moist during establishment, and use in managed ground cover, containers, or border fronts.
