{"product_id":"etain-violet-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Etain Violet - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eEtain is a clump-forming English viola with large, lightly scented flowers about 1¾ inches wide. Each bloom is soft lemon yellow with a lavender-purple rim, a combination that looks fresh against its green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt blooms hardest from late spring into early summer and keeps sending up flowers here and there into fall. At 6 to 8 inches tall, it stays in a neat clump rather than running like groundcover violets, which makes it good for edging, containers and small cut posies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat, rounded, pansy-shaped flowers about 1¾ inches across are pale lemon yellow in the center, washing into a clear lavender-purple band along the petal edges, with a small yellow eye and faint dark lines at the throat. They are held singly on slender stems just above the leaves. Foliage is medium green, oval to heart-shaped and slightly scalloped. The plant forms a tidy, rounded clump about 6 to 8 inches tall and wide. At peak bloom dozens of yellow and lavender faces sit evenly over the clump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEtain wants richer, more consistently moist soil than lavender, so plant it in a cooler, partly shaded bed or a container near the patio rather than in the lavender rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrows in full sun to full shade; afternoon shade helps it keep blooming in hot summers. Keep soil fertile and evenly moist, and deadhead to encourage more flowers.
