Gelbes Veilchen

Prefers a cool moist well-drained humus-rich soil in partial or dappled shade and protection from scorching winds. Tolerates sandstone and limestone soils but becomes chlorotic if the pH is too high. Prefers a pH between 6 and 6.5. All members of this genus have more or less edible leaves and flower buds, though those species with yellow flowers can cause diarrhoea if eaten in large quantities.

Edible Parts: Flowers Leaves Edible Uses: Tea Young leaves and flower buds - raw or cooked. When added to soup they thicken it in much the same way as okra. Flowers - raw. The flowers of this species are usually yellow - some caution is advised since plants with yellow flowers have ben known to cause diarrhoea if eaten in large quantities. A tea can be made from the leaves.

Incense The stems and fragrant blossoms have been placed in the clothes cupboard to impart a nice smell to the clothes.
