Hundsveilchen

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 soups, they thicken them in much the same way as okra. A tea can be made from the leaves.
