Viola Seeds - Plum Antique

Abundant, lightly fragrant, 1 1/2" blooms are a blend of plum, rose, mauve, and gold. Mildly fragrant blooms. One of the fastest varieties to reach a height tall enough for cutting in our overwintered trials. In a zone 5 unheated tunnel, it yielded 16–22" long stems that are perfect for mixing with tulips and daffodils in early spring bouquets. Edible Flowers: Decorative and edible garnish for salads and desserts with slight wintergreen flavor. While a popular choice for brightening up salad mix, the flowers are also good for candying.
