Notes
'Celestial Blue Moon' viola (Viola cornuta 'Celestial Blue Moon') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It forms a fragrant, evergreen clump that grows fast and spreads 12 to 24 inches. Blue, purple, and white flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Burgundy Glow bugle, Ballade tulip, and Fringed bleeding heart.
