Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Selected from a collection of historic violas, chosen for their decorative and edible petals streaked with contrasting or complementary colors. A good choice for cool weather, spring in the North, winter in the South. Best in organic, moist, well-drained soils, they should be trimmed when they get leggy to revitalize.
