Viola Etain

Viola 'Etain'

Common Name: Violet

A rare and elegant viola! This beautiful English hybrid has extra large 1¾" wide, pale lemon yellow blossoms with contrasting lavender-purple margins and a delightful fragrance. Though it blooms the heaviest from late spring to early summer, it will continue to send up flowers sporadically throughout the summer and into fall.

'Etain' is a clump-forming type, unlike many other violets which are groundcovers.
