How to plant/cultivate
One of the essential points for the successful cultivation of Violets, either for the sake of marketing the cut blooms, or for medicinal purposes, is clear atmosphere. They seldom do well near a town, because the undersides of the leaves are covered with hairs, which catch the grit, thus blocking the breathing pores.[3]
Commonly seen growing in areas
On Hedgerows, Worm woodlands, On calcareous soils.
