Violets are a popular annual that can thrive in many types of soil. They prefer cooler climates and may wilt slightly in warmer temperatures. They do not require a lot of care after planting, just an occasional watering during dry stretches. Many species of violet also grow in abundance in the wild.
Abundant
There are about 400 to 500 violet species in the world, with most grown in the Northern Hemisphere. Violets are also native to parts of South America and Australia.
Color
As the name would suggest, most violet species are violet. Other colors include blue, yellow and white. There are also a few multicolored species, most commonly blue and yellow.
Indoors or Out
Many species of violet are popular in outdoor gardens, but the African violet is among the most popular indoor flowering plants.
A Hardy Flower
Outdoor violets are known to be hardy, and they often can survive a light frost. Cooler climates are not normally a problem for violets.
Petals
All violet species have five petals. The lowest petal is normally the largest, and is sometimes more vibrantly colored to attract insects that help the plant to pollinate.
