Viola nigra 'Bowles Black'

  • Product number: 606700
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Viola nigra

A very striking effect: small, but profusely flowering violas in a blue-black colour with a bright yellow heart. They bloom from spring to autumn and if you don't work the soil too much, they will self-seed in the same spot. Do select the darkest ones each time to prevent cross-pollination.

Names:
Latin: Viola nigra
Dutch: Zwart Mini-Viooltje
