Viola cornuta
The sorbet series is a stand out performer when stacked against any viola. We think violas are a grossly under estimated plant. They are really easy to grow from seed. Within 6 weeks of sowing they are flowering their hearts out. They perform magnificently through autumn and spring and even thrive throughout the coldest, darkest seasons. In addition they have weather (rain & wind) resistance that is just so far superior to pansies.
