I love violas, their dozens of pretty faces, their vibrant colours, their fragrance - much nicer than the rather blousy pansies, I think. I like also that they tolerate sun and some shade. So undemanding. I bought quite a few mixed colours this year, mostly purple and cerese colours, a few white, and planted them all together in a freestanding trough. At first I thought that, maybe, I should have bought trailing begonias or something like that but the violas have put on such a show, I'm happy with my decision.

Of course, you don't need to grow them in a trough; they will grow in the garden border or tubs, or hanging baskets just as happily.
