Violas are a lovely spring flower! Hardy enough to stand an ice storm! In his sonnets, Shakespeare used the violet as a symbol of humility and constancy in love.
Also known as Johnny-Jump-Ups- these plants may self-seed year to year showing nickle-sized flowers marked with purple, yellow and white. Violas are not a true perennial plant that comes back from the roots. Meant to be enjoyed in the spring when weather is cooler and we are all hungry for colour!
