Notes

'Sorbet Coconut Swirl' viola (Viola cornuta 'Sorbet Coconut Swirl') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a clumping mound and grows at a rapid pace. Blooms in blue, purple, and white appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and they draw butterflies and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
