Nursery contributed plant descriptions

More heat tolerant than pansies, violas arrived in the 1860s thanks to the diligent breeding efforts of James Grieve in Scotland. By the 1890s many were available including this indispensible variety that combines colors of copper, gold, green and bronzy purple to wonderful effect.
