Description: The pretty blue-violet flowers with yellow eyes of this native pansy are wonderful for decorating and flavoring salads, cakes, cold soups, herbal teas, and more. In addition to the flowers, the leaves of the wild pansy are also used in the preparation of salads to which they give a good peppery taste. The hardy plant up to zone 3 is grown in the sun or in light shade, but its flowering is more abundant in the sun.
