Bring dark beauty to your gardens and containers. The compact plants are bedazzled with 3/4″ flowers of the deepest purple, so dark they appear black. Violas love the cool weather of spring and fall, making them ideal for spring bulb cover, and for fall color after annuals are spent. In mild climates, they cheerfully bloom through the winter. Reseeds. Perennial in USDA zones 6-9. Deer resistant.
