Notes
'Imperial Antique Shades' viola (Viola wittrockiana 'Imperial Antique Shades') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Few annuals handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers come in gold, rose, and violet, and they bloom in spring, autumn, and winter.
Pairs well with Daffodil, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Bloodgood Japanese maple.
