Sweet violets are different from African violets. Sweet violets grow well outside in warm and humid weather. They grow in California as my Mother In Law grows them in her front yard. She used to live in Kansas and she brought some with her when she moved to California.

∙ 15y agoThere are African violets which are houseplants, these can be found at a nursery, online, hardware stores, you wouldn't find them growing in the wild in the US, it's not the proper climate. There are wild violets that grow outside and can be found in some nurserys and sometimes they grow on hills if naturally protected by trees or shrubs. They are pretty hardy.

∙ 14y agoYou can find African violets in Nurseries but be aware of insects they may carry. There are some good growers online. Please view the related link I have placed. These can be grown under a shop light in your house or in a North window. It's not a good idea to grow them outside as they don't like the cold.
