    Don Jacobs of Eco Gardens in Georgia spotted this violet. The two upper petals are deep violet blue, the lower three white or the palest blue, and the eye is bright orange. It needs full sun or light shade and excellent drainage and a spot in front of the rock garden or between paving stones or in a tufa trough. Flowering occurs for us here in TN mostly in late spring but sporadically all summer and into fall.
