Includes a sprouted violet seedling!

They've come up again this year, lol.
These sprouted naturally from the fallen seeds of the flowers that bloomed last year. I felt bad about just pulling them out, so I potted them up. Would anyone be interested in growing them?
They bloom repeatedly with tiny star-shaped flowers and red berries... a delicate sight! ? If you have one plant, it will sprout and spread from various places each year from next spring onwards.

There are descriptions that this plant, originally ornamental, has gone wild, and it is a vigorous and easy-to-manage plant.
Even if it spreads too much, it can be easily pulled out.

[Also edible]
The leaves are quite thick and large for the size of the plant. When lightly blanched, they have a slight sliminess and no strong flavor, and are said to be delicious when eaten in white sauce or vinegared miso dressing, or with grated daikon radish and bonito flakes. To eat the leaves tenderly, it is said to be better to pinch off the flower buds and prevent them from blooming.

-- From Wikipedia --
The leaves are several centimeters long, succulent, and arranged alternately. In summer, a panicle is produced at the tip of a stem about 30 cm high, with sparse red 5-petaled flowers about 3 mm in diameter. However, these flowers only open for about 2-3 hours in the afternoon (hence they are also called Sanjibana, or three o'clock flower), so they are often seen in the form of conical buds or round fruits, reminiscent of sparklers (the name Hazeran (爆蘭) comes from this image).
