We searched for the most delicious violet with the widest range of consumption possibilities. Behold: the Sweet Violet, whose young leaves make a delicious salad when combined with a spicy addition such as mustard greens or arugula. Atop the salad, the tasty, fragrant flowers provide an elegant and surprisingly delicious touch. The leaves have a thickening effect in soups, similar to okra. A calming tea can be brewed from the flowers and leaves.

Sowing method: 2-4 weeks in a warm and humid spot (seed swells), then place the seed tray in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks (germination hormones are activated), then warm again (germination follows). Sometimes this process needs to be repeated. Alternatively, you can sow outdoors no later than September, in which case winter will provide the necessary cold, and germination should follow in spring.
