Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

These sweet scented 'violet' flowers bloom in spring and are especially suited to shady areas, particularly under trees. Viola odorata ia a spreading perennial which will create a carpet of mauve blooms, and is great for a naturalised display in lawns, alongside crocuses. Its foliage is heart-shaped and evergreen. Supplied as large plug plants. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 50cm (20")

Culinary information: Some parts of these flowers are edible. The crystallised petals are great decorations for cakes and cookies, or they can be added straight to green salads for an injection of colour. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant plugs in pots to or grow them on for transplanting containers and borders later on. Grow on in a cool frost free position. When fully rooted into their pots, gradually acclimatise violet plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days prior to planting them in their final positions. Grow Viola plants in sun or semi shade in well drained, rich, fertile soil.

Feed and water container grown plants regularly. Deadhead faded violet flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced and prevent them from self seeding.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
