Viola pedata (Birdfoot Violet)
×
Color Name: Eco Artist Palette
A selection of the US native Birdfoot Violet, distinct in the Violet world for its bi-color flowers and narrow dissected foliage resembling that of a bird's foot. Eco Artist Palette forms a dense clump of foliage that is covered in flowers beginning in spring. The superior petals are a dark purple while the lateral and interior petals are a lilac blue. Expect sporadic rebloom until fall frost.
Growing Tips: Violas grow best in cool, moist, shady environments. In the north, plants can tolerate full sun but prefer partial to full shade. Shade from deciduous trees is ideal because the plants growing below receive full sun in the spring, followed by protection from the harsh summer sun once the trees get their leaves. To stimulate additional flower production, plants should be sheared back periodically when blooming begins to decline. Plants can also be sheared back in early spring to remove any winter-damaged foliage.
