underplanting and pots

Violas are super easy to grow and tolerant of most soil types

The plants form a bushy clump of bright green leaves from which the tall erect spires of flowers grow into tall slender columns of blue flowers with a wispy tip  The flowers open from the bottom up If you are also wanting a great flower for cutting then this is also a great choice

The buds are beautiful as they are a kaleidoscope of colours as the flowers mature which you can see from the photos

Verbascum phoeniceum | Violetta Gift Cards Height 30cm x 20cm WideAn evergreen perennial this very pretty Verbascum Violetta has flat faced rich violet coloured flowers held on airy spikey stems. Flowering from late spring to summer the flowers stems rise proudly above the flat rosette of leaves. This Verbascum is shorter than many we do but still a stunning addition to the garden. Vita Sackville West wrote in 1936 that her verbascums looked as though 'a colony of tiny butterflies had settled all over them'.
