Viola tricolor ssp. subalpina Exclusive

15 (20)cm, almost spreading, biannual to short-lived perennial Violet with bicolored flowers with lilac to mauve upper and pale mauve to almost white lower petals. At anthesis flowers turn uniformly blue. From partially shaded to sunny places in rocky soils in grassy slopes and rock crevices in mountains in southern Europe (Alps). A very nice, yet rarely seen subspecies which is more compact and robust in all parts with slightly larger flowers and more oval leaves in contrast to Viola tricolor ssp. tricolor. We offer the true-to-type subspecies which is very rarely seen. Easily cultivated in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot, where it will self-sow readily. V-VII.
