Viola CELESTIAL™ Northern Lights
Viola = ‘SMEV4’
Viola x hybrida Celestial™ Northern Lights was selected for cold hardiness, habit, floriferous quality, and unique color. Prized for its heat tolerance, in the Midwest it will bloom through the summer. In the Southeast it will stop blooming but as the weather heats up, the foliage thrives and it reblooms in the fall. Excellent heat and cold tolerance.
