An excellent variety with abundant blue flowers a good as 'La Grave' and variegated foliage into the bargain. Possibly a little more compact or tight in growth than some of the other varieties, but despite this a great coverer of the ground. Foliage with a clean bright white edge which it keeps all year.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

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

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.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over 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
