morphological character

Biennial or perennial herbs, up to 60 cm tall, the whole plant is densely covered with gray peduncle. The stems are erect, multi-branched and slightly lignified at the base. Leaf blade oblong to oblanceolate or spoon-shaped, petiole 6-14cm long and1.2-2.5cm wide, whole or microwave-shaped, with obtuse or rarely short tip at the top and tapering to stalk at the base.

The raceme is terminal and axillary, with many and large flowers, and the inflorescence axis is elongated in fruit; Pedicels are stout and spread obliquely, reaching 1.5 mm; Sepals erect, oblong, about 65438 05 mm long. The inner sepals are saccate at the base, membranous at the edge and white and transparent. Petals are purplish red, red or white, nearly ovoid, about 12 mm long, with shallow 2-lobed or slightly concave tips, wavy edges and long claws at the lower part; Filaments gradually expand to the base; Ovary cylindrical, stigma slightly 2-lobed.

Growth habit

I prefer a cold climate to a hot one. I like a well-ventilated environment and a mild climate in winter, but I can also withstand a short-term low temperature of -5℃. The optimum temperature for growth is about 15- 18℃ during the day and 10℃ at night, which has low requirements for soil, but it grows well in neutral and alkaline soil with good drainage, so avoid acidic soil.

Violet is cold-resistant, not tolerant of shade and afraid of waterlogging. Suitable for living in higher places, it is hot in mildewy rainy days, with poor ventilation and prone to diseases and insect pests. Fertilization should not be too much, otherwise it is not conducive to flowering. If the light and ventilation are not sufficient, pests and diseases are easy to occur.
