Highly fragrant 'Halo Sky Blue' Tufted Violets feature soft periwinkle blue and sunny yellow petals above scalloped foliage. Early spring flowers start the garden season off with a burst of color, perfect for containers or the front row of garden beds in full to part shade. These low-maintenance perennial Violets bloom until fall, and will return after year for easy garden charm. (Viola cornuta)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Tufted Violets, also called Horned Violets (Viola cornuta), are the compact, strong species gardeners often think of when referring to Violas. They have excellent heat resistance, and a quick trim of gently scalloped, mid-green foliage when summer temperatures rise will elicit new growth and a new flush of flowers for the fall season as temperatures cool. Deadhead with thumb and forefinger to keep plants blooming. It’s important to plant in a part-to-full-shade location, in moisture-retentive soil that drains well to prevent crown rot. A spot with gentle morning sun is ideal. Viola cornuta makes a fantastic underplanting for early spring bulbs such as Daffodils, Hyacinths, or Tulips.
