Description
Viola corsica is a superlative violet from the Old World. It is uncommonly known but resembles a winter pansy with masses of small, fragrant, violet-blue flowers with purple whiskers and tiny yellow centres atop low mounds of bright green leaves. The impressive flower display runs from spring into summer. Easy to grow in rock gardens, as a ground cover, in containers, and in small spaces. Fragrant and edible too. Will multiply and naturalize if allowed. If plants get leggy after their months of bloom, chop back by two thirds. Plants will quickly reflush with more growth and flowers.
