Touted as one of the darkest hued flowers in cultivation, this long blooming Viola will indeed work some magic wherever it's planted. Each large, 1 in. wide edible flower possesses sumptuous jet black hues and a small sunny yellow eye that's rimmed with violet above a compact, grassy green dainty-leafed clump. 'Black Magic's low growing heat tolerant habit promises oodles of blossoms throughout the cooler months, an autumn encore if trimmed back and renewed vigor following a September dividing.
