Comments:
Violets grow best in a fertile, rich soil where humus has accumulated over a long period. This selection makes a nice ground cover in the woodland garden where the soil is rich in organic matter. Plants do best where the soil stays moist. They generally do not require any special care but cannot compete with heavy plant growth in the woodland setting.
