Viola cotyledon is a flowering plant in the family Violaceae, native to Argentina and Chile .[1] Growing to 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad, it is an evergreen perennial forming dense clusters of semi-succulent leaves. Flowers appear in a ring around the edge of each plant in summer. Flower colour is variable, from white through violet to dark blue.[2]
It occurs in the temperate biome of western Argentina and southern central Chile.[3]
It is hardy to −10 °C (14 °F), but needs a sheltered position in free-draining soil and high levels of light.[2]
