I have patches of violets in different parts of the garden. At the moment the little gems are shining bright. This patch is overrun by oxalis. It is a case of pulling out the weed when I am crouching to pick a bunch of violets for the house. They do well enough in shady areas but to flower well they need a good dose of sunshine.
This is another variety with thicker leaves and petals. The flowers are usually larger too. I feed the violets when I am feeding the other plants in autumn and that seem to help with the winter flowering.
