Varietal Characteristics:

- Chinese violet cress (scientific name: Orychophragmus violaceus) is an annual or biennial herbaceous flower in the genus Orychophragmus of the family Brassicaceae. It has strong adaptability. With low requirements for soil and light, it is cold-resistant, drought-tolerant, and highly vital, remaining evergreen in winter. The plant stands 10-50 cm tall, with a smooth, hairless body, a single upright stem, and diversely shaped leaves. The flowering period is from April to June, yielding purple, blue-purple, or white flowers (2-4 cm in diameter), which are highly ornamental.

- Chinese violet cress not only boasts high ornamental value as an excellent plant for early spring flower viewing and winter green foliage appreciation but also has practical uses: its stems and leaves are edible, seeds can be used for oil extraction, and it is nutrient-rich, easy to grow, convenient to harvest, and high-yielding. Meanwhile, it features low sowing and propagation costs, and requires simple maintenance—making it suitable for large-scale planting to create mass landscape effects. Additionally, it possesses certain medicinal value.
