Native ‘Violet’ – 140MM
(Not currently available to be ordered)
I am Native Violet. My family originated from Australia
| I am a spreading native ground cover violet with delicate white and mauve flowers year round but my blooming is more prolific 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. |
