Description
Viola cornuta ‘Yellow’, commonly known as Horned Violet, is a charming perennial that features bright yellow, delicate flowers with subtle dark markings and distinctive horn-like spurs at the back of each bloom. Native to the mountainous regions of the Pyrenees, this species is valued for its compact growth habit and extended blooming period from spring through fall, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and rock gardens. Its versatility and tolerance to partial shade, combined with its deer resistance and ability to thrive in well-drained soils, have made it a favorite among gardeners seeking vibrant color in cooler seasons. The Horned Violet’s unique floral structure and vivid coloration contribute to attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Recognized for its garden performance and reliability, Viola cornuta cultivars have earned accolades from horticultural societies for their ornamental appeal and ease of cultivation.
