Next to the maybe-anemone patch, I also spotted a few of the lovely violas that have been gently rampaging around the front yards (such as they are) in the neighbourhood. My landlord will inevitably mow them down, and I would dearly love to see them next spring in my big cedar planters. What's the best way to move one or two of them upstairs? Alternately, what do the mature seed heads look like?
The seedheads are really, really small, but violets are incredibly tough. I have them in my lawn, where they are mown, and they do fine. If you want them, just dig up the rhizome, pull out the grass and plant.
