Odd question here perhaps.

I was at a nursery in North Italy where the proprietor told me that she had seen an entry in a British seed catalogue for a green-flowered violet. She was absolutely clear that the plant was a violet but that it was coloured green, not, er, violet. Sadly, she had mislaid the catalogue.

I have undertaken some Google fu but entering green+violet and variations has predictably failed to yield anything much.

So I thought I’d ask the green fingered here if they know of such a thing and, if so, who might sell the seeds.

Thanks

Cubelium concolor (Eastern Green Violet)? Unlikely seeds were ever available.

Thank you. I’ll pass those suggestions on.

Is there a known specialist?
