Thank you! I’ll spread some around into sunny areas too, and see what happens. xx

I should have also added above, it can be grown in full sun. I spoke to my Mum about your article and she said that I should tell you that it’s the only violet she knows of (and she’s a wealth of gardening wisdom so I’d say there’s a very good chance she’s right) that will tolerate full sun

To me, this is ‘Grandma’s Violet’. When my boys were little, we would carefully part the leaves in search of tiny, purple violets which we would then pick and display in a small, delicate vase given to me for this exact purpose by my own grandma. They would then push them right up to their little noses trying to breathe in the perfume, just as my sister and I had done when we picked them with our Mum. It wasn’t until I read this article Kate, that I ever even suspected that the violet was edible. Thank you!
