Description:
Viola banksii, commonly known as native violet , is an Australian native of the family Violaceae, and is only one of a small handful of native violet species in this country. That being said, Viola Banksii is a popular species, and is widespread in cultivation in both native and mixed gardens. This is a herbaceous plant of prostrate habit, spreading by layering stems. The bright green leaves are kidney-shaped and about 15 - 25 mm in diameter. Purple and white flowers appear singly on stems about 150 mm high and occur throughout the warmer parts of the year. Fun fact - Viola banksii was originally collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander at Botany Bay in 1770.
