Viola x wittrockiana 'Matrix Sunrise' F1 reviews
Reviewed 31st August 2019 by Jill Seem good, well-grown plants. I like the non-plastic packaging. It works well |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Sue Have all died. I had to ask for replacement as first batch arrived with some already dead. Planted in containers didn’t thrive, replanted in the ground all have now died. Very disappointed. I have other viola in the garden that thrive. |
