Viola cucullaria 'Purple Showers'
Marsh Blue Violet or Purple Showers Violet
The "energizer bunny" of Violas. Purple Showers is a clump-forming selection with large, 2 inch long, slightly fragrant flowers that are bright clear purple. They create a dramatic color impact in the spring garden, especially when combined with yellow and red tulips. Though this variety blooms the heaviest from late spring to early summer, it will continue to send up flowers sporadically throughout the summer in cooler zones.
