I am a California transplant from Escanaba Michigan who really misses seeing my violets in spring. I also miss my little lily of the valley flowers that grew around my house borders.

Does anyone know where I can buy the pips on line at a reasonable price?

The violets I am looking to buy I remember were dark purple, no frills, yellow eyes, with four petals, I believe. Many regarded them as weeds or pests because they would take over a lawn in a season! Ha ha!

But I loved them and can't find them on line to buy.

They may be called viola odorata. I would love some links to buy these to be shipped to me in Calif. and try and grow them in the house.

Thanks for all replies on this matter.

So glad I found this forum.

    I obtained violet seeds from this company a few years ago. They aren't the ones that grow wild here in Michigan but are the more fragrant variety that were once so very popular. http://www.richters.com/
