Last Mother's Day, in memory of my deceased daughter, I planted a small garden of her favorite plant, English lavender. I would like to plant pansies there also, but I fear the full sun may be too intense for them. My second choice is violets - the old fashiion type. I have read that they are in the ground cover catagory. MY QUESTION IS: WILL THE VIOLETS END UP CHOKING OUT THE LAVENDER. Any input would be greatly appreciated. This garden is in a public location, on the south end of Colorado Springs, a good distance from my home. I am not able to check on it every day.

Thanx.
