Viola Cornuta 'Prince John' Flowers ( also known as Viola Tricolor ) with one Bellis Pomponette Red flower behind

---

A cottage garden flower if ever there was, the Viola differs from the Pansy in having smaller flowers on more compact plants and in being very free-flowering. On this latter point, they will start blooming in early spring and, if dead-headed regularly, will continue far into the autumn – indeed, one enthusiast writing as long ago as 1908 mentions picking flowers on Christmas Day. Exceptionally hardy and trouble free.
