Viola spp. Pink

Common Name: Pink Viola

Description:
Viola 'Pink' is a delicate and compact flowering plant known for its soft pink blooms, often featuring subtle yellow or white centres. Flowering prolifically from autumn through spring, this hardy variety thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. With a neat, mounding habit, 'Pink' is perfect for garden borders, pots, hanging baskets, and mass planting. This frost-tolerant viola provides long-lasting colour during the cooler months and requires minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
