Viola Deep Marina

Common Name: Deep Marina Viola

Description:
Viola 'Deep Marina' is a stunning, compact flowering plant known for its rich deep blue to purple blooms with a soft yellow and white centre. Flowering abundantly from autumn through spring, it thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Its low-growing, mounding habit makes it perfect for garden borders, pots, hanging baskets, and mass planting. This hardy variety is frost-tolerant, ensuring long-lasting colour through the cooler months. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, and its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding life to the garden.
