Viola Maxi Marina

Common Name: Maxi Marina Viola

Description:
Viola 'Maxi Marina' is a compact and vigorous flowering plant known for its large, deep blue blooms with a soft yellow and white centre. Flowering profusely from autumn through spring, it thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. With its neat, mounding habit, 'Maxi Marina' is perfect for garden borders, pots, hanging baskets, and mass planting. This frost-tolerant variety provides long-lasting colour during the cooler months and requires minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading promotes extended blooming, and its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding beauty and biodiversity to the garden.
