This could become the beginning of another obsession.

it's already an obsession for me! ;D

Viola chaerophylloides'Beni Zuru'  is very beautiful Rudi. Is it completely acclimatised and reseeding alone?

Free flowering and very fragrant:
Viola chaerophylloides Beni Zuru

Congratulations - I had hardly never open flowers with all of these marvellous Japanese species.

Just  garden centre violas at my back door - but so pretty. I was given this pot as a Christmas Gift and in December the flowers were around the size of  my thumbnail - now they are  feeling very bold and the flowers are  around 2-3 cms across!  If they get any bigger they'll be pansies!

Why do we try to cultivate all these rare and tricky species when such a lovely beauty exists?

Dear friends, thank you for the kind replies. My plant had many seeds in the open garden with
and without flowers and I noted some seedlings in late autumn. Hope, that winter weather did
not kill them.

Hi all ,

I have sown in 2016 seeds of Viola mirabilis ...
they are very well germinated ...
and now I have more that I need for myself :)

The plants starting now with flowering ! ( please look pictures )

I would offer it for swap ( maybe for other interesting Viola,Primula,Anemones )

Sorry only inside Europe

Best wishes
Hans

 Quite so, Luc, the flower-power delivered by these little cultivars  is a great joy -and the more so since they are so "easy" !!

Are you still growing V. ambiga in the sand, Gerd?

 the leaves of V. mirabilis are very beautiful, Hans, I have some germinations, and in miniature, they already look a little like it.

 on the other hand, are the first leaves of Viola pedatifida whole, uncut? seeds have sprouted, but I have a doubt about the species.

 Viola madchurica 'Fuji Down': I can not cultivate in the ground because of slugs or soil too clay, it sows only in pots

One of my favourite types is "Jackanapes" with the contrasting upper and lower petals.
These are from last winter - "bloomer pots" from a nursery so not the "true" cultivar 'Jackanapes'

Sorry, found your question just now (was away for one week) -

Yes, I grow Viola ambigua in a sunny position and in sand - and it does better than in ordinary garden soil.


I add some pics from the alpine house here
