| Much more weather-tough than Pansies, Violas don't mind the rough storms of spring and the cold snaps of fall, and 'Bastian Blue' shows its toughness with nonstop blooms over 3 long seasons. If there is a more free-flowering Corsican Violet (or a more lovely one!), we have yet to grow it! Just 8 to 10 inches high and wide, this perennial makes a fine groundcover, edging, or container choice, its fresh green foliage remaining colorful and healthy well into winter in many climates. Its deep blue blooms, 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide, begin in late spring and continue right through summer's heat and into autumn! There's simply nothing like it for continuous flower power. What's more, 'Bastian Blue' is ready to multiply in the garden, increasing the beauty and breadth of your Viola display. It is quite easy to grow, needing little attention to keep flowering profusely over many months. Why can't all plants be this easy and beautiful? Zones 4-10. Pkt is 25 seeds. |
