Notes
'Penny Rose Blotch' viola (Viola cornuta 'Penny Rose Blotch') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy annuals, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its fragrant rose and violet flowers attract butterflies and bees all season long. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Ornamental onion, and Japanese holly.
