Umuthi Viola Midnight Glow (Edible Flowers) Seeds produce compact plants with near-black, deep purple petals and subtle yellow centres. Petals are edible with a mild, meadow-sweet note, adding dramatic colour and a delicate flavour to salads, desserts and drinks. Best in cool weather, violas grow happily in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and flower over a long season in beds, borders and containers.
♡ Why we love it: Striking, moody blooms that elevate plates and pots alike. Easy, cool-season colour with genuine edible petals, and tidy plants that suit small spaces and window boxes.
