Viola Tinkerbell Blue

Common Name: Tinkerbell Blue Viola

Description:
Viola 'Tinkerbell Blue' is a charming, compact flowering plant known for its delicate sky-blue petals with soft white and yellow centres. Flowering abundantly 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, 'Tinkerbell Blue' is perfect for garden borders, pots, hanging baskets, and mass planting. This frost-tolerant viola provides long-lasting seasonal colour 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.
