Title: Viola yezoensis f.discolor
Post by: max62 on April 19, 2012, 08:06:30 PM

Hi,

I search seeds of Viola yezoensis f.discolor, I've never found it in the European nurseries I know but I'd realy like to have it (I'm fond of its purple foliage)
So if you have seeds or know where to buy it (worldwide) or even plants (Europe), please tell me.

And for those who don't know this plant

Hi Max, welcome to the Forum. I hope someone knows where this pretty viola might be offered.

Hi Max,
Also a warm welcome from me!
The website is superb - the species mentioned too. Unfortunately I don´t know a source.
Some years ago I had some Japanese contacts with violet lovers and received seeds of the plant.
It wasn´t hardy here in my USDA zone 7 b.
Sorry for being not of much help to you - perhaps a Japanese Forum member is able to give a contact.

Gerd

Welcome Max.  That's a pretty one, isn't it.  Not one I've ever heard of before, although I can understand why you are wanting it.  It's a beauty. 8)
