Title: Can someone ID this viola for me.........
Post by: maggiepie on June 23, 2013, 03:03:29 PM

Plant is around 18 inches high and is more like a small shrub than a viola.
Terrific plant.
Very hard to get a decent pic though, flowers are more blue than the pic shows.

More blue than the one Wim showed, but it looks nearly the same to me..... Viola elatior..... identified for Wim by Gerd....

Maggi, the leaves do look like some V. elatior plants I have but this plant is huge compared to those.
Maybe this one is normal size and the others are midgets.
Thanks for the ID
