Often thought of as only an ornamental flower for the garden, the violet is also edible and medicinal. The candied flowers are a culinary treat for decorating cakes and other baked goods.

“Pansy” is normally used to denote multi-colored large flowered cultivars. Violets are small-flowered annuals or perennials. Leaf is heart shaped, though some are scalloped or have other shapes. Grows on banks and hilly pastures throughout Great Britain. In China, it grows along the Yangtze River and in southern China. According to the American Frugal Housewife in 1833, the common dark-blue violet makes a slimy tea excellent for treating cancer.

Violet leaf and flower is widely utilized in American folklore and African-American conjuring to attract new love or to soothe heartbreak. (Violets are known as heart’s ease for this reason.) It is stated that putting violet leaves in your right shoe and wearing it for seven days would bring you new love. Bathe in a violet infusion for 9 days to help with heartbreak.
