Water Violet

Water Violet (Hottonia) - H. palustris is a pretty British waterplant, which, however, thrives better on soft mud-banks than when submerged. The deep-cut leaves form a dwarf deep-green tuft over the mud, and from this tuft arise stems bearing at intervals whorls of handsome pale lilac or pink flowers. As water and bog may be associated with the rock garden, this plant may with advantage be grown at its margin in the water or on a bank of wet soil. It grows from 9 inches to 2 feet high, flowers in early summer, and is abundant in many parts of England.
