Blue Violet Leaf - Dried Viola odorata Leaf C S 100 Percent from Nature -4 oz-

Also called Sweet Violet, this small perennial plant is readily recognized by its heart-shaped leaves and sweetly-scented lilac-colored flowers that appear in early spring. What many people don’t realize is that the violet actually blooms again in the fall, only the flowers are inconspicuous and laden with seed. This makes the violet self-fertilizing, or in botanical terms cleistogamous. Dried violet flowers and leaves are made into syrups, tonics and teas. The herb is also used to make poultices, and is tinctured for use in topical ointments and salves.
