Viola odorata 'Mistress Mallory'

Viola odorata 'Mistress Mallory'

	Rich pink flowers. This one is rather mangled and under the foliage, but it has performed better under the trees. Roy Coombs says: "'Mistress Mallory' (Carman, New Zealand). Large rose-pink, paler at edges of petals. Later flowering." Peters Staudengartnerei includes the delightful note that: "all violets tend to become wild". That's something to think about.
