  • Viola odorata 'Bournemouth Gem' Viola odorata 'Bournemouth Gem'

    Viola ‘Bournemouth Gem’ ( Devon Violet )

    £3.75

    Potsize - 9cm

    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 soil

  • Viola 'Dick o' the Hills' Viola 'Dick o' the Hills'

    Viola ‘Dick o’ the Hills’

    £3.75

    A strong growing variety with nicely scented flowers held well up on strong rose coloured stems. The flowers are near white with a variable flush of apricot-pink which intensifies to rose madder on the spur. The upper (posterior) petals tend to flare slightly, with the bottom (lateral and anterior) petals closer together creating an overall heart shaped outline. Very pretty. CW Groves and Son

  • Viola 'Melanie' Viola 'Melanie'

    Viola ‘Melanie’ (violet)

    £3.75

    Potsize - 9cm

    Viola 'Melanie'. (Viola 'Katja'). It's hard to resist the charm ( and perfume ) of the humble viola. But if you are looking for something a bit different, forget papal purple, this Viola is the richest Catholic Bishop Pink you'll come across. Deep and extravagant with a delightful silver edge. It is floriferous, doesn't fade and has an intoxicating fragrance. i couldn't resist it - the colour stands out so zingingly.

  • Viola 'Rebecca' Viola 'Rebecca'

    Viola ‘Rebecca’

    £3.75

    Potsize - 9cm

    Viola 'Rebecca'. Compact hybrid viola with a long flowering season from Spring through Summer. This is one of the lovely Violetta group of violets. They form really tight hummocks of foliage and throughout their long season they are absolutely covered in outward facing pansy-like flowers with a delicious fragrance. Think of them like a perennial pansy that's been to finishing school. Rebecca has a base colour of cream, shaded lemon on the lowest petal with a rich yellow eye. Each petal is then shaded to pale lilac with the edges flecked mauve. Heavily scented. Any good soil

  • Viola riviniana Purpurea Group ( Viola labradorica )

    Viola riviniana Purpurea Group ( Viola labradorica )

    £3.75

    Potsize - 9cm

    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.
