Super productive variety
Easy to grow
Mahogany flowers have long been some of my favourites and particularly when that colour is brightened and heightened by gold as it is in this beautiful pansy, ‘Sorbet Honeybee’
Both leaves and flowers of violas are edible and can be used to add flavour, colour and texture to salads. The flowers can also be used as edible garnishes to cakes.
Pick the flowers and scatter them onto salads.
