I am looking for some of the old fashion red violets. Does anyone have any to trade or for postage. I know shipping will have to be in a month or so due to the weather.
Looking for red violets
Are you seeking african violets that are red?
No. I want the hardy kind. I had some a few years ago but lost them to tunneling vermin. This time I will put them in planters.
I have one that needs trimming. Do you know who to root them?
I always just divide my clumps. I've never had to trim them. The violets(violas) I want are grown outside and are hardy in zone 5.
Mine must not be the same kind. They grow in a terrium and trail all over it. The flower is bright red but looks just like an african violet.
Is that a red Viola odorata?

K, were you asking me or tk? If me, it might be.
Is this what you are looking for?

I don't have it but maybe someone will recognize it by the picture?

The foliage doesn't look quite like it but it could be. The ones I had looked just like the wild purple ones but they were dark red.
That is not what I have.
