Violas - stalwart flowers that are part of the violet family and can weather the occasional late Spring frost or snow - usually appear inthe garden in mid-April. They are full of bright, rich, gorgeous,purples, yellows, fuchsias and more contrasted with dabbles of white or cream within the same petal. These rich color contrasts are echoed in the Silk Blend Shocking and Silver colorways.
