The Viola tricolor, also known as the wild pansy, is a common European wild flower with cultural, medicinal, and ornamental significance. It is a small plant with oval or oblong leaves and purple flowers that have five petals, usually purple or blue, with an inner color of yellow, white, or blue. The plant can be found in open grasslands, farmland, riverbanks, and floodplains. It has been cultivated since the Middle Ages and is one of the ancestors of the garden pansy. The wild pansy is also edible, and its flowers are often used as garnishes on salads or as decorations on cakes. It has been traditionally used in herbalism and folk medicine and has been the subject of scientific interest due to its potential medicinal properties. The plant is mentioned in the works of Shakespeare, and it holds various common names such as heart's ease, love-in-idleness, and love-lies-bleeding. Viola tricolor is a much-loved annual plant with purple, yellow, or both colored flowers, making it a popular choice for the front of borders or rockeries.
