Floral Power Plum Antique (F1) Viola Seed
New! Sweet plum-colored viola.
Abundant, lightly fragrant, 1 1/2" blooms are a blend of plum, rose, mauve, and gold. Overwinters well in our unheated tunnel (Zone 5) from a fall planting, yielding 12–20" long stems under those conditions. Plants produce abundant stems that tend to be a little thinner at harvest compared to varieties like the Nature™ Series.
