Marmalade This the flowers of this scented viola are pale primrose when they first open but gradually turn to lilac
Grey Granite especially wanted to visit this stand to chose some perennial violas for her garden and selected Marmalade and Abigail. These are to be planted in blue salt glaze pots. She was given advice on cultivation and urged to use traditional clay or salt glaze pots, not plastic which allow the roots to become overheated, dry out quickly and are extremely nasty in every respect. |
Floella, a shortlisted contender for Plant of the Year 2014
Grey Granite looks forward to purchasing this beautiful mauve, scented viola when it becomes commercially available next year.
