3665 Shangri-La Marina ( Viola cornuta )
This ASS winning Viola cornuta is an early-flowering, mounding viola in a vibrant new color for this type. In trials, the 6 inch tall plants kept a low-growing mounding habit. Colorful and prolific 1¼ inch 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.
