Botanically speaking, violas, pansies, and violets are all perennials belonging to the genus Viola. However, pansies and violas are treated as annuals; they are invaluable for winter and spring color. Pansies and violas provide mass color in borders and edgings, as ground covers for spring-flowering bulbs, and in containers. Violets are more often used as woodland or rock garden plants. Pansies and violas take sun or shade, while violets thrive in part or full shade. [Bender, Steve, Southern Living Garden Book, The.
