Kφnigin
Charlotte Wilhelm Gerst,
(Bietigheim) Germany. September 1899.
The mid-blue, up-ward looking flowers are
held on long stems above the leaves, very free-flowering from August onwards and
even more in spring, but not in winter. It is often mentioned that 'Kφnigin
Charlotte' is not suitable for forcing at Christmas time. A real problem
is the fact that early descriptions say that it is dark blue, but at least since
WWII it is described as above.
'Kφnigin
Charlotte' can be propagated by seed and comes quite true. This may be the
reason for the variability. It is advisable to inspect plants in autumn
and discard plants which are not true to description. I Germany, all the
garden authorities have strongly recommended
'Kφnigin
Charlotte'. This has led to the depressing fact that all other blue
varieties of scented violets have been excessively neglected.

Charlotte'.
