Re: Sweet Violet (Viola Odorata)
What is the difficulty level of this plant for lahore, mikhurram? easy , intermediate or difficult?
There is a common violet plant available in lahore known as viola, i remember it at lahore nusery and it is a perennial but not sure if it is odorata or something else.

It can be easy to grow provided that the conditions for growing described in the first page are met and difficult if the conditions required are not met. Not familiar with the violet plant at Lahore nursery as it been quite a while since i last visited that place.by khabbab »

I would suggest growing this plant in a pot first and later after it has multiplied then divide and consider placing it a soil bed but again the this plant is very particular about soil having richness, good drainage and a shaded portion having little sunshine preferably not the afternoon sun, and roots of this plant prefer moisture.by jdashraf »
