Description
I'm not sure you can beat this variety with its beautiful cream-yellow flower spreading to lavender on its margins and an unforgettable scent.

Height / Spread / Trail
15 x 25cm

Flowering Time
April - October

Possible Situation
Look absolutely stunning in border fringes, rockeries, gravel gardens and bowls and tubs. Violas can be mixed with summer patio flowering and foliage plants but can also make excellent containers with other Violas for early spring through to Autumn.

Ideal Conditions
Prefers cool, protected, partial shade, especially in summer months with moist, but free draining soil or compost.

Temperature Tolerance
A hardy plant which should survive normal winter conditions outside, especially if protected from the hardest frosts.

Plant Care
Dead-head, or trim to prolong flowering into the autumn. Cut the plants back in autumn and give a mulch and feed. Beware of slugs and aphids - both are fond of Viola's.

Suggested pot sizes to transplant plugs : 9cm : 11cm : 1 Litre
