Viola ‘Etain’ is one of the plants recommended this year by Judy to her circle of gardening friends. I decided to try them out in a shady spot near a group of trees and other perennials.
Normally, one would expect a violet such as this to stop blooming long before now (due to summer heat), but just like the energizer bunny, these little perennials just keep going and going.
The hot summer we have had has not seemed to faze them much at all. The only thing I have noticed is the very slight reduction in size of the blooms compared to those in the spring.
I’m sure the shady location has helped them to weather the hot weather.
