Viola tricolor var. hortensis is a stunning variety that produces large, vibrant blooms in a rich mix of colours, including shades of purple, yellow, red, white, and blue.

 

The Latin name Viola refers to a genus that includes pansies and violets, and hortensis indicates the cultivated nature of this particular variety.
