Labrador ‘Violet’ – 140MM
(Not currently available to be ordered)
I am Labrador Violet. My family originated from Greenland and eastern Canada
| I am a spreading ground cover violet with stunning dark green heart shaped foliage and delicate blue flowers year round. I bloom more prolifically in the warmer months.
My dense habit makes me ideal in pots and hanging baskets either alone or in combination with other plants. I also work well in the garden, around rockeries and as an under planting. I thrive in shady locations and will cope with light foot traffic such as between pavers. My flowers are edible and a great way to add colour to a salad. |
