Viola jooi |
 |
| | Seed saver's jackpot - a full pod of viola seeds! |
This species from Romania is supposed to have deep green leaves and reddish purple flowers. The plants we grew from seed are now in their second year and blooming; the leaves check out, but the flowers are decidedly blue. Very nice, but I can't be certain of the identity.

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| cad@transcena | Mar 19, 2012 | Hi Rob, these are definitely viola jooi. They have a pinkish tinge. Very variable and some plants more pinkish than others. They have very scented flowers and should self-seed a lot. Hardy to zone 3. They are known here as Hungarian violets.
I would like to use your excellent pics for a power point on wild edibles. I will credit your name/website.
Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, they didn't self-seed for me, so they expired from our garden a few years ago. |
