Viola 'Bournemouth Gem' ( violet ). A selection of our native sweet violet bred especially to produce violets for the trade in cut flower posies. The flowers are exceptionally large with an open wide form and are borne on long stems above the partially evergreen foliage. Unfortunately the price of the large flowers is that the scent has been largely lost from this variety, one of the Devon Violets. Back at the turn of last century, the area around Dawlish, Devon was famous for producing violets for the cut flower and perfume trade. It grows in much more open clumps than Viola odorata and has distinctive veined, heart-shaped leaves which are a litle glossy. Grows in shade or sun. Prefers a moist soilDiscount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

I do love the endearing faces of the perennials violas, but Columbine is my favourite. The neat pansy flowers are streaked and splashed with a blend of soft blues and bright violet over a white ground with the brightest golden eye. As if that were not temptation enough, the scent produced is the sweetest and strongest of any flower I know - transporting a tray of them in the car to plant fairs is better than a trip to any fancy perfume store. Evergreen mats of foliage, flowering about 8 inches high from May until September, especially if dead headed and trimmed lightly in July. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Smashing little violets, not only for the copious rich violet blue flowers produced in Early Summer, but for the generous cushions of bright evergreen foliage. Lovely ground cover for sun or partial shade. When the flowers finally fade, trim the cliumps and they will reward you with a second crop. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Viola riviniana Purpurea Group ( Viola labradorica ). This is an excellent edging plant, its dark purple leaves forming an excellent foil for its own violet flowers as well as those of many other perennials. It spreads well to cover the ground and I've seen it looking lovely running along the base of a wall and along the edges of a set of stone steps. This is the dark purple leaved form of our native wood violet. It is easily pleased and will grow in sun or shade in a wide range of soil types.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks
