Heartsease – art print
Heartease
Viola tricolor
A4 art print
Digitally printed on Shetland Rives 300gsm stock
Illustration from The Physick Garden book
DESCRIPTION
This ankle-height, short-lived perennial grows in most parts of the world, and its flowers (which come in purple, yellow and white) have generally been perceived as exuding warmth and friendliness and being capable of providing a balm for ‘diseases’ of the heart. It is for this reason, as much as any melodramatic Victorian belief in its power as a love potion or mender of broken hearts, that its most popular title (heartsease) is likely to have originated.
