This cheerful mix produces a continuous flush of small, jewel-like blooms in a gorgeous range of colours — rich purples, sunny yellows, soft whites, vivid oranges, and deep pinks — each with that characteristic sweet viola face. Long-flowering, compact, and wonderfully easy, violas are equally at home tumbling along a border edge, filling a pot, or lending their petals to a salad or dessert. Once you start growing them, they become a garden staple you return to every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eBeautiful mixed colours\u003c\/strong\u003e — purples, yellows, whites, oranges, and deep pinks for a vibrant, cottage-garden display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍽️ \u003cstrong\u003eFully edible flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e — petals are edible with a mild, slightly sweet flavour, perfect for garnishing salads, cakes, and drinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent for pollinators\u003c\/strong\u003e — bees love violas, making them a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eLong flowering season\u003c\/strong\u003e — blooms prolifically from autumn right through winter and into spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — compact, reliable, and rewarding for gardeners of all levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolas thrive in cool conditions and are one of the best flowers for autumn sowing throughout NZ. Sow seeds indoors in seed-raising mix 8–10 weeks before transplanting, or direct sow in a sheltered position from late summer into autumn. In the warmer northern regions — Northland, Auckland, and the Coromandel — violas will flower continuously right through winter, making them an outstanding choice for winter colour and edible garnishes. In cooler southern areas they will flower from autumn into early winter, then again prolifically in spring. Transplant seedlings to 20–25 cm apart in a sunny to partly shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowers coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Edible Viola Mix (\u003cem\u003eViola cornuta\u003c\/em\u003e), a blend of mixed colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45350372245573,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_09b7fba3-791c-453e-a66f-873ae0bc6638.png?v=1784069345","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/edible-viola-mix-seeds-viola-cornuta","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
