About this Plant
Viola ‘Labradorica’ (Alpine Violet) – A hardy, purple-blooming groundcover.
The Viola ‘Labradorica’, also known as Alpine Violet, is a semi-evergreen perennial prized for its deep purple flowers and attractive foliage. This compact 4-inch plant is drought tolerant, cold hardy, and perfect for adding reliable color to part-shade gardens.
Its low, spreading habit (3" tall and 6" wide) makes it an excellent small-scale groundcover or a charming filler between stepping stones, pathways, rock gardens, and woodland borders. It reseeds naturally, attracts butterflies, and blooms from spring into summer.
This hardy viola thrives in part shade with moderate to dry watering and is rated to USDA Zone 2, tolerating temperatures down to 0°F or lower.
A resilient, shade-loving violet that provides dependable color and easy care.
