I recently purchased this plant. According to the tag, it is perennial in zones 4 - 9. It is doing nicely and adds a nice touch of color to the early spring flower bed.

I just purchased mine, I planted it with my purple and red flowers. Beautiful, an eye turner.

Superb frost hardy Viola hybrid with medium sized golen flowers often strongly marked with maroon-brown stripes.

Flowers repeatedly throughout the year.

Loves a well drained but moist soil in pertial shade or dappled shade to full sun in cooler climates.

This hybrid hasn't been known to set seed but you can home propagate by taking stem cuttings or layering long leafy stems.
