This is a great all-rounder with good scent, lots of double pink flowers which puts it head and shoulders above 'Pikes Pink'. | Erodium x variabile 'Bishop's Form' By far the best rose-pink form available. This Erodium has a slightly larger habit than its predecessors, whilst maintaining a compact habit, lovely dark foliage and vibrant pink flowers through summer. |
Creamy white flowers splashed and frilled with mauve. One of the strongest scented Viola in the range. | Brilliant double red flowers. |
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. |
