Viola Perennial
Viola cornuta
outdoorViola cornuta is a compact perennial viola producing abundant small, pansy-like flowers in a wide range of colors throughout spring and summer. Unlike annual violas, this hardy perennial returns reliably year after year and often reblooms if deadheaded regularly. It performs best in cooler climates and partial shade, making it ideal for border edges and rock gardens.
