Euro-Style Violas

EURO-STYLE VIOLAS

Violas outsell pansies in Europe by huge numbers. Hardiness is certainly a factor—their winters are cold and wet, and the survival rate on violas is higher. Other factors are style and design. Violas favor a European look that emphasizes large blocks of clean colors. Even better: the viola can hold that color in place for a long, long time.

LOBULARIA FOR EARLY ORDERS

For buyers planning their early orders, we want to direct your attention to Lobularia. It might look like Sweet Alyssum to you, which it is. Breeders want you to call it by a different name because it performs much better in the summer than the older, seed varieties of Sweet Alyssum.

Lobularia is known for its low carpet of tiny flowers with a subtle, sweet scent. It has strong cool-weather performance, so bring plants in right after spring pansies. The category has seen good sales growth over the past few years because the breeders have been active.

We’ve added three new varieties to our mix:

~ ‘Frosty White’ ~ ‘Lavender Stream’ ~ ‘Silver Stream’

As you can see in the photos, ‘Frosty White’ (below) has a nice variegated cream at the edge of the leaf. ‘Lavender Stream’ (above) has a light blush of lavender added to the flower. They all mix well underneath taller plants and add color while covering the soil of a container or bed.

ORNAMENTAL WINDOW BOXES

Ornamental Cabbages and Kales have become important staples of fall decor, so we stock them in a variety of sizes. For example, we have 4-1/2 inch pots and 6-inch pots of both available. Use them in window boxes, deck planters and other containers where a smaller size works much better. So that you can cover all your bases, we offer both red and white versions of each ornamental.
