    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Viola 'Heartthrob' is a stunning violet with elongated heart shaped leaves with rich burgundy-red centres and lovely lavender flowers. Clumping and will not self seed. Use as a ground cover or accent plant for the woodland garden, shady border, or containers.

    By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

    Bold, colorful, heart-shaped leaves feature a gorgeous deep-burgundy splash in the middle of lush bright-green. Exquisite, fragrant lavender blossoms with a white throat in spring. This is a truly unique violet, wonderful as a groundcover or planted as a shrub understory. Unlike some violets, this one is well-behaved, the flowers don't seed around. PSh-Sh/M PP19996

    idy but vigorous 6-8” clumps of heart shaped leaves with luscious deep burgundy stained centers surrounded by bright green edges... striking! Fragrant lavender flowers in spring are shy and mostly hidden by the foliage...but OH THE FOLIAGE!! Does not seem to set any seed...so does not have the bad habits of other violets. Moist organic soils are preferred...part sun to shade. Rather rare in the trade, but WE have it!

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Lovely, narrowly heart-shaped leaves have deep burgundy centers that contrast with the bright green leaf edges. A wonderful foliage plant that also has purple flowers. 8" T x 12" W Minimum temperature: 15?F

    By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

    Your eyes won't believe these bold leaves with a strongly contrasting deep burgundy splash. Wonderful foliage plant. Strong textured leaves set off lavender flowers in the early spring. Attractive in containers, the front of the border, or as a ground cover.
