Violet Herb C/S

Botanical Name: Viola Odorata

Origin: Europe

English Name: Violet Herb C/S

French Name: Herbe de Violette Coupée

Also Known As: Sweet Violet, Common Violet

Part Used: Leaves and flowering tops of Viola odorata

Description: Violet Herb C/S is prepared from the leaves and flowering tops of Viola odorata, a low-growing perennial plant native to Europe and parts of Asia and naturalized in temperate regions worldwide. The plant typically grows 10–30 centimetres tall, producing heart-shaped green leaves and delicate purple to violet flowers that bloom in early spring. Harvesting is carried out when the plant is in full bloom to capture the vibrant colour, fragrance, and botanical quality of the leaves and flowers.

After harvesting, the plant material is carefully cleaned to remove dust, soil, and natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green and purple tones, as well as the delicate leaf and petal structure. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections and small flower parts. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Viola odorata while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending, infusion, and decorative use.

The finished Violet Herb C/S displays a muted green colour with occasional purple petals, a crisp texture, and a subtle floral aroma. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their appearance and natural fragrance over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.

Uses: Violet Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and aromatic preparations where dried leaf and flower material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, potpourri, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating flowering plant morphology and seasonal growth. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable herb fragments.

Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.
