Viola walteri 'Silver Gem'

Viola walteri ‘Silver Gem’
(Prostrate Blue Violet)

Add soft color and texture to shaded gardens with this charming, low-growing violet. ‘Silver Gem’ forms a tiny mound of heart-shaped foliage with silver variegation and reddish-green tones, creating interest even when not in bloom.

Delicate violet-blue flowers appear in early spring and may continue sporadically through fall. Its prostrate habit makes it an excellent choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens, rock gardens, or as a small-scale groundcover.

This non-invasive violet is drought tolerant once established and attracts butterflies, making it both beautiful and beneficial in the garden.
