Although violas are perennial, they are often grown like annuals because they do not perform well in an extended period of heat. USDA zones 4-8 can reliably plant violas as perennials. Other areas may want to use them as cool-season annuals. Violas will return in all zones by reseeding. Edible flowers are charming on salads and desserts.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eViola tricolor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eViolaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAsia and Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerennial in USDA zones 4–8; often grown as an annual.
