Plant description
Violet blue flowers appear in spring and early summer above spreading mounds of deep purplish-green leaves, which are often retained throughout the year. This charming and relatively robust wood violet looks lovely planted in drifts under deciduous shrubs in a wild or woodland garden where (if left to its own devices) it will happily colonise bare patches.

How to care for Viola labradorica:
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering (or if larger clumps are required), allow it to set seed and spread naturally.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
