Sweet Violets grow wild in many places but they are also cultivated for their many medicinal and cosmetic uses..
The Violet propagates itself by sending out runners from the main plant, which in turn send out roots and become new plants. This way violets can cover large arias in gardens or woodland. They will thrive in partly shaded places.
The main use of the Violets in these days is as a coloring agent and perfume.
The fresh flowers have also been used as an addition to salads; they have a laxative effect.
The French are also known for their violet syrup, most commonly made from an extract of violets.
