About this Plant
Viola tricolor is a beloved organic edible flower that produces deep velvety blue, purple, and yellow blooms in both spring and fall. These charming annuals thrive in shade and moist soil, making them ideal for woodland gardens, borders, containers, and edible landscapes.
Viola tricolor is a self-seeding annual that will happily naturalize. When planted near lawns, the plants may eject their seeds into the grass, creating delightful colonies that “jump up” year after year.
The entire plant is edible and traditionally valued for its skin-soothing properties. Flowers add soft, herbal sweetness to salads, desserts, cakes, garnishes, and herbal teas.
