Violet - Sweet 'Duchesse de Parme' -- Select Seeds

Violet - Sweet 'Duchesse de Parme'

Viola odorata

The origin of the Parma violets is unknown, however, Empress Josephine, who grew them at Malmaison, embraced them. The most richly scented of all violets, the 1870 'Duchesse de Parme' has doubled flowers of lavender. Once grown for use in perfumery and corsages, we enjoy it today as a potted plant, where the petite flowers show to best advantages.
