These perennial shrubs can easily spread over the years and populate entire areas if they feel well. Violets form long aboveground foothills. However, these do not bloom in the first year.
In addition, ants help with the propagation. They carry the ripe fruiting bodies around, nourish them and leave the seeds lying. Soon the seeds germinate and new violets are the result.
Take the sowing into your own hands
If you can not really trust self-sowing and stunting, you can control the multiplication yourself. How about sowing? You can harvest the seeds of the violets yourself in March or buy them in stores.
Violets in spring or autumn share
An easier method of propagation is splitting viola. The division should be done in the spring after flowering or in the fall. To do this, dig out the root ball of the violets. The next step is to split the roots in the middle, for example with a knife or a pair of scissors.
The acquired daughter plants are planted in another place. When planting, keep a distance of 20 cm between each specimen. The ideal location is partially shaded and humid. The soil should be enriched while planting with some compost. This speeds up the growth.
Tips & Tricks
Once violets have settled in the area, they quickly become wild. Even lawns they like to take when they are in partial shade.
