Viola Heartsease (Viola tricolor) is a charming, cool-season flowering plant loved for its dainty blooms in shades of purple, yellow, white and blue. Flowering freely from autumn through spring, it adds a cheerful splash of colour to garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, window boxes and pots. Its compact growth and long flowering season make it a favourite for brightening the garden during the cooler months, while the edible flowers can also be used to decorate salads, desserts and cakes.
Tip: Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil and remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and keep plants looking their best.
