I planted one in my yard... it's now growing moss where it used to be. Guess that's what happens when you live in zone 6 and the plant grows in 7 & up. The site I bought it from said it was good for my zone.. guess not

One of the many named cultivars of Viola that have to be propagated vegetatively.
This one has a good scent and grows well but, like all similar violas, it is a short lived perennial and needs to be propagated from regularly in order to keep it going.
