Ideal Conditions
Prefers full sun with free-draining soil or compost in a sheltered position.
Temperature Tolerance
To keep this plant over winter it must be kept in a frost free area.
Plant Care

Suggested pot sizes to transplant plugs : 11cm : 1 Litre
Deep rich-red single flowers, on dark green-bronze foliage. | A rich, bright red semi-double flower on tall deep bronze foliage. An old variety, but with freedom from virus, one of the best. |
Creamy white flowers splashed and frilled with mauve. One of the strongest scented Viola in the range. | Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR) This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing. |
Sumptuous velvety-bronze flowers on lanceolate green foliage. This newly bred variety provides even more of a chocolate scent than the previous form and is more compact for pot and garden. |
