Hello M3po,
Violets are a genus of flowering plants that fall under the family Violaceae and are also known as Viola. There are around 400 species of violets around the world. Native to the northern hemisphere, they are currently also found in Hawaii, Australia, Asia and South America. Some species among violets are perennial while others are annual plants. Generally these plants are small shrubs and height varies according to species. For example one species the Viola cheiranthifolia grows up to 6 to 7 inches. On the other hand African violets which are not “true violets” can grow up to 300 feet in the wild.
Violets can be of different colors such as purple, violet, blue, orange and yellow and they are usually asymmetrical. The shapes of the petals are usually defined by the species to which violets belong to. Violets bloom at different times during the year and this also depends on the type of species.
