mine has died last year during the winter. It's very pleasant to know you have saved yours. Do you protect this plant against cold temperatures, in a green house ?
Hi, Viola rubella is an evergreen shrubby species from lower altitudes in Chile where it does not experience more than slight frosts. I cultivate my plants in a small greenhouse with temperatures around zero (C) in winter. It seems the plants would be happier at about + 10 ° C then. Best wishes Gerd
Great info GerdK, as always :-) Just have to remember rubella is not for me :-/ It was -5°C here yesterday (hope none of my violas died), it's better now +5°C. That's fun and such a thrill to see my violet's leaves down 'cause of the frost and suddenly returning up when it's a little bit sunny: my most hateful joke I guess, I'll never get used to that one ;-) Welcome posting Yan and thanks for it :-)
All the best folks for the incoming new year :o) Thierry.
