Nursery contributed plant descriptions

"It looks like peanut butter & jelly!" That’s how assistant propagator Beth described this sweet little Viola and she was right! Grape-y tones merge with warm nutty bronzes to create a delicious blend of colors that just beg you to take a bite. You could too, since Violas are edible! Dainty 1-inch flowers atop tidy foliage create evergreen mounds that are 6-8” tall & wide. Place in well-drained soil, give it a bit of shade in hotter inland areas, & protect from frost for successful overwintering. Fertilizer & ample water will put on the bloomiest show!
