Umuthi Viola Sorbet Lavender Pink (Edible Flowers) Growing Seeds produce compact plants with soft lavender and pink blooms. The edible petals have a mild, meadow-sweet note and bring gentle colour to cakes, desserts, salads, cocktails, chilled drinks, borders, pots, and window boxes. These violas are best suited to cooler conditions and grow well in full sun to part shade with well-draining soil and regular moisture. Their tidy growth habit makes them useful for small-space gardens and delicate edible flower displays.

♡ Why we love it: Sorbet Lavender Pink is soft, pretty, and easy to place in both the garden and kitchen. The pastel petals add a gentle decorative touch without overwhelming plates or containers.
