Shrubs Viola Hederacea Native Violet

Viola Hederacea Native Violet Say hello to Viola – she’s a gorgeous little native ground cover violet with lots of attitude.

In summer Viola produces a carpet of pretty purple and white flowers held above fresh green leaves. She creeps across the ground, amongst rocks, around a pond, covers bare soil beneath a tree, and crowds out the weeds as she stretches along a garden bed.

She also looks great around the sides of a pot, or put in the cracks of pavers and broken patio stones to soften the edges.

Viola needs very little care once established which makes her great for newbie gardeners and busy folk who don’t have the time or inclination to weed- we knew you’d like her.

Quick Facts: 

• What to use me for: I’m an attractive spreading ground cover that doesn’t need much attention – perfect for rockeries, borders and beneath trees.

• I grow to: Around 15-20cms high so I’m small stuff but I can spread over two metres given time.

• I am currently: A babe at 8cm 

• Where to place me:  I like full sun but I’m happy in part shade. 

• How far to space me: Leave 25-30cms between me and my friends if you’re looking to cover a larger area. We’ll quickly spread out a carpet of green, purple and white for you.

• Soil Conditions: I like loose crumbly soil with a good amount of nutrients, but you can always boost me up with a good quality fertiliser if your soil isn’t great. I’ll need some water in dry spells as my roots don’t dig down far.

Beautifully grown and mature in size with developed roots and guaranteed sun hardened. These plants can be inserted straight into the ground and make an excellent garden plant.
