Have you ever walked through a field or even been walking through your yard and seen the small full green bunches of leaves with small violet flowers growing in the middle? They almost look like a bouquet in itself. Some people dig them up as they are and make an arrangement out of them or pot them to grow inside. But what are they?
They are known as the blue violet which is the most common species, with a sterile violet-colored flower that blooms in the spring. There are no leaves on the flower stalk. The heart-shaped, shallow-toothed leaves arise separately from the ground. They're good to eat in springtime, but become tough and coarse in the summer. But don't get this plant confused with the
Poisonous dwarf larkspur (Delphinium tricorne) has a similar violet flower, but with a "spur" behind the flower, and a different leaf. Monkshood (Aconitum uncinatum), also poisonous, has a large, helmet-like upper sepal that covers 2 petals. Many people get these two confused and end up getting sick if they try eating the plants or flower.
Blue Violets can be planted in a variety of ways such as in a flower bed, natural area, pot or hanging basket. The violets are gorgeous little plants because they are relatively small and grow in bunches so with one plant you can look like you have your own little bouquet.
