Description
Viola Sylettas&trade is a selection by Thompson & Morgan of the species Viola koreana.
This is no ordinary Viola! Compact, vigorous plants with Cyclamen-like leaves.
The mid-green foliage is marbled in silver-grey, having a rich maroon-red underside and graced with lots of mauve-pink flowers.
Superb as an indoor pot plant, grown in low containers on the patio, or in a sheltered position in the garden.
Flowers spring.
Height 10-15cm (4-6in).
