Description
The Violet bush-clover is a compact, 30-50 cm tall perennial plant with clover-like foliage and graceful flowering stems with pea-shaped purple flowers in June-July.
A good drought tolerant but delicate plant for almost any garden situation from sun to part-shade, attracting bees and butterflies. Being a legume will also enrich the soil with nitrogen.
Germination: the seeds should be handled like most other species from the legumes family, which all have a hard, impermeable seed coat: either sow the seeds in late fall/winter outdoors and let the weather wear down the seed coats, either scarify the seeds first and sow afterwards at room temp.
The Hot water method has been tried and it works, but it has to be repeated many times. See in the gallery how large the seeds should look after a successful HWT; after that the germination starts in about one week at room temp.
