Girl to live recklessly (6)

I believe the answer is:

violet

'girl' is the definition.

'to live recklessly' is the wordplay.
'recklessly' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'live'='tolive'
'tolive' is an anagram of 'VIOLET'.

(Other definitions for violet that I've seen before include "Purplish colour" , "Colour; flower, source of fragrance" , "Seldom" , "Bluish purple" , "Herbaceous flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
