Viola x wittrockiana 'Peach Shades' F1
- Perfect for Pots
- Evergreen
- Good for Cutting
- Scented

I absolutely love the warm, soft colours in this mix which flowers in a sheltered spot from late winter all the way through spring
It's one of my favourite spring container plants and I love it to pick for a vase and to decorate puddings.
Pick the flowers and scatter them onto salads.
