looking for sources of viola odorata

17 years ago

I'm moving into a house with a shady backyard with no lawn. I'm wanting to plant a nice groundcover. I've had violets in my yard back in California, and they always did well in the shady parts of the yard in wet years. Sadly they're not so abundant, that I could dig a couple up and take them with me to Arkansas. Any one know of a source for violets? Anyone wish to part with some of their own? Please let me know. I should be in AR in February.

Thanks
