Viola Pedata 'Eco Artist Palette'
Perennial Bird-foot Violet
Eco Artist Palette birdfoot violet (Viola pedata ‘Eco Artist Palette’) produces two-toned flowers with dark purple upper petals and paler lilac-blue lower petals. Deeply divided leaves give the low clump a fine, almost feathery texture.
Its strongest floral display comes in early to midspring, with scattered flowers possible later in the season. The small scale suits a rock garden or a border edge where both the patterned blooms and unusual leaves can be appreciated.
Choose full sun and sharply drained soil. Protect the crown from prolonged wetness, and provide careful establishment watering without allowing the planting site to remain saturated.
