Plant description
A deliciously fragrant, low growing perennial Viola with large cream-yellow flowers with a lilac fringe produced abundantly and in waves throughout the spring until early autumn. The elegant clumps of oval, dark green leaves spread to create a dense ground cover. Great for spilling over pathways and the front of borders, ‘Etain’ is also at home in rockeries, patio pots, and cottage garden schemes.

How to care for Viola Etain:
Pot-grown plants can be planted out or potted up into compost or well-drained, humus-rich soil that is neither frozen nor prone to waterlogging.
Keep well watered, and feed with a good, high potash fertiliser (such as Tomorite) on a regular basis. Pinching off the spent flowers will encourage more to form.
Protect young plants from slug damage using natural barriers such as coarse grit, copper bands, or other non-chemical solutions that are available in our slug and snail control selection.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
