Saint
Helena
- Origins unknown.
A small hardy violet with flowers with a somewhat
indistinct pale blue, and a stronger scent than other V. odorata. The
origins of this violet would seem to be something of a mystery when described
by Edward A. Bunyard as the ‘ Riviera Violet,’ even though Gertrude Jekyll
claims it was given to her by an old lady in her village. Whatever the truth, this is certainly an
unusual cultivar that will give the best results in a rock garden.

Semperflorens - Origins unknown.
Small pale violet blue flowers, which stand well above
the foliage making this such a charming violet. It starts to bloom during the
Autumn. If treated to a little love and
kindness will continue through to the spring.
This variety lends itself well to being planted in small drifts, where
the impact of the flowers should prove stunning.

Souvenir
de ma Fille
- Armand Millet Bourg la Reine, France, 1912.
Named after his beloved daughter Armandine, who had
died on the 10th July of the same year, however, it was not introduced until
1914. Lovely intense blue flowers on
long stems with a good perfume. The
flowers are nearly as big as those of 'Princesse de
Galles', and produced in
profusion especially under glass in colder climates.
Souvenir
de Jules Josse - Origins unknown.
Supposedly introduced around the turn of the century
by a grower in the Midi region of France.
Reddish-purple flowers with a distinct white eye, quite large and
possessing a neat habit. This cultivar
has recently been re-introduced by Clive Groves, who was given cuttings by a
friend in the West Country. It is best
grown in frames in colder climates, as it is one of the tenderest of the single
violets still in cultivation, it is free flowering, even though the foliage
does have a tendency to look a bit sick, it is not a particularly strong violet
though does force reasonably well under glass.

Sulphurea
- The name
refers to V. odorata var. sulfurea - Rouy
et Foucard, Fl. de Fr. iii 26
(1896)
The name is allowed as it has been in
existence for over one hundred years.
The description is somewhat ambiguous; it is known as
the 'Sweet Yellow Violet' which
it is not on either count. It was discovered in a hedgerow by a postman
from Indre at the end of the 19th century, and is best described by Armand
Millet who describes it as having “ citron yellow flowers with a chamois
throat.” Hardy, with deep green
foliage.
