Mine do not have flowers but just grow and grow and I pull and they grow some more and I pull. An neverending battle. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Of or relating to a flower that does not open and is self-pollinated in the bud. The fertile flowers of the violet are inconspicuous and cleistogamous, while the plant's more familiar showy flowers are usually infertile. Quote \| Reply \| Report
