'Harpoon' is getting fairly large. It is an unruly mound, sort of free-form and I like it a lot. Thumb of 2013-06-29/ViolaAnn/f725e5

'Heavenly Tiara' is a very pretty plant. Quite a lot slower growing than 'Grand Tiara'.

'High Society' I've had for several years and it's becoming an attractive plant.

'Ice Age Trail' has been in my garden for several years and is very slow growing. I'm hoping that with leaves this large I'll have more eyes next year.

'Ice Cream' is attractive. A sport of 'Vanilla Cream'.

'Invincible' is an older variety with lovely shiny green leaves. Unfortunately, it tends to be a bit of slug bate. But it's lovely right now.


A sport of 'Janet'. This was divided off about 3 years ago and now looks to have 2 sports - one with streaks and one that is solid green.

'Jewel of the Nile' is a bit smaller this year as quite a large portion of it had reverted to 'Dee's Golden Jewel'.

'June' - this is my original plant on the east side of my house - morning light. Usually it is more yellow that this, but we've had a rainy spring.

'June' - this was a one-eyed division with no roots at all 4 years ago. I put it in a nursery bed and it did well and after a year, planted it on the west side of my house. It's now as large as my original plant - above - but because the houses are closer together on the west, it gets less light and is usually noticeably more blue than the original.
