HEART'S EASE

Heart's Ease also known as wild pansy, Love-lies-Bleeding, Love-in-Idleness and Bullweed (Viola tricolor) is a British annual wild violet found on hedge banks and waste grounds. The flowers vary in colour and size, but are generally purple, yellow or white and most commonly a combination of the three. The upper petals are generally the most showy and usually purplish in tint. The lowest and broadest petal is usually yellow and has its base elongated into a spur. The Saxons called it Banwort or Banewort. It receives its alternative names of Love-Lies-Bleeding and Love-in-Idleness from the former belief in the plant as a potent love-charm, and is mentioned in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream as such.
