Uniquely colored and always intriguing, this rare and demure classic is well shown off by planting with the silver foliage of Artemisia, purple blooms of Salvia, or chartreuse blooms of Alchemilla. 'Irish Molly' is slow to propagate, so we're delighted to have built up enough stock to offer this treasured antique.

Viola is a valuable genus composed of more than 400 species of perennials from the world's temperate regions. There has been much hybridizing among species, resulting in many gradations of flower form and hardiness. The varieties offered here are reliably perennial for us. They prosper in full sun or partial shade (partial shade is always best in the South and the warmest reaches of Zones 9 and 10 in the West). Violas want even moisture and will tolerate quite damp soil.
