Viola 120mm

Violets are all members of the viola family, which includes about 500 species of annuals and perennials, which are mostly small, mounded shrubs.

All types of violets have five-petalled flowers, and mostly flower in white, yellow and purple, though other colours are available.

Pansies are also in the viola family and were developed when the small-flowered heartsease (Viola tricolor) was crossed with other species.
