Etain Viola

Viola ‘Etain’ is a timeless, evergreen perennial dating back to the 1800s, often considered one of the most beautiful results of early cross-breeding between pansies and violas.

Prized for its large, striking blooms and delightful fragrance, ‘Etain’ features pale yellow petals delicately edged in a soft violet-purple. Unlike many violas, this variety blooms from spring through summer and acts as a magnet for butterflies. It is remarkably hardy and drought tolerant once established, maintaining its evergreen foliage throughout the year in many climates.

With a slightly taller habit than standard violas, ‘Etain’ performs beautifully as a fragrant groundcover, in garden borders, or as a sophisticated centerpiece in patio pots and containers.
