Viola corsica

Violets and violas are really too small to have much of an impact in the garden, but we love them for their dainty charms.

Corsican violet is a cold-hardy heirloom that blooms its heart out from Spring through Fall. Best grown in part-shade in any well-drained location. Will seed prolifically when happy.

The seed structure is beautiful! See second photo.
