1 Tiger Eye viola

VIOLA HYBRID, ZONES 4 TO 9

With distinct burgundy markings and dark veins on golden petals, these perennials live up to their name. A piece of garden art, they do best in full sun to partial shade. As a bonus, the vibrant flowers are fragrant and cold resistant. Plants get scraggly in summer; cut them back to encourage new blooms and divide them regularly.

Why we love it:

Each flower has gorgeous petals that are edible if they haven’t been treated with pesticides.
