Hey santam
Most Violets are small perennial plants, but a few are annual plants and some are small shrubs. Gardening was my dad’s hobby for many years, with Violets being one of his favorite flowers. There are quite a few websites out there with articles that will give you great tips and insight into caring for your Violets. Links to those articles are at the bottom of this message.
Violets (Viola) are a genus of Spring flowering plants in the family Violaceae. There are more than 450 species of Violets in the genus. Violets are native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere but can also be found in Hawaii, Australia, and in the Andes of South America. Violets are found in moist and slightly shaded conditions such as hedgerows.
The word 'Violet' comes from the Latin name 'Viola'. Ordinary Violets, Common blue violets, Sweet violets, Garden violets are some of the popular varieties of violets.
