Description

Horned violets are small perennial flowers that often bloom tirelessly throughout the year and like to self-seed frequently. Originally from the Pyrenees and rather purple in color, they can now also be found wild in local meadows. Surely everyone knows cultivated forms in blue-violet, yellow, white or red colors, often mixed together. The large-flowered sister is known as the pansy. Extremely uncomplicated in normal garden soil. Nowadays you can also find the flowers in the 'colorful salad mix' in the supermarket because they are a pretty and tasty decoration.
