Rococo Frilled Mix

Flower

Viola X wittrockiana

Overview
2-3" deeply ruffled flowers in multicolor combinations of purple, burgundy, plum, gold, lavender, mauve, and ivory. Some variability in bloom size, degree of frill, and plant height across the mix. Mildly fragrant blooms. Overwinters well in our unheated tunnel (Zone 5), yielding 12-14" long stems that are perfect for mixing with tulips and daffodils in early spring bouquets.

While a popular choice for brightening up salad mix, the flowers are also good for candying.
