Viola cornuta 'Shangri-La Marina' F1
15 Mar, 2011 Get Growing
Viola cornuta 'Shangri-La Marina' F1 is an early-flowering, mounding viola in a vibrant new color for this type. In trials, the 6-in.-tall plants kept a low-growing mounding habit. Colorful and prolific 1.25-in. blooms have light-blue petals with a velvety dark blue face that is surrounded by a narrow white border. Flower color is a consistent deep marina blue throughout the season. This vigorous frost-tolerant biennial provides a solid mat of fall color until covered with snow, followed by a great recovery in spring. Grow in full sun as a low edging in the garden or in hanging baskets and pots. It is an All-America Selections 2011 cool season bedding plant award winner.
