The Viola does spread itself around, I wish I could claim to have planted it with the primula, it is nature showing the gardener how to do it!

Everything looks great and your new hot bed sounds wonderful. I see the lovely Chionochloa standing out, gorgeous! Do you find the Viola labridorica spreads around? I grew it about 4 years ago and find seedlings everywhere - I wish it would seed beside some primula, your wee combo there looks lovely.<br />Good luck with it all, hope it's a busy one :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125904710470855608.post-60056781051255659252015-05-02T16:49:41.202+01:002015-05-02T16:49:41.202+01:00Thank you Chloris, We have helped friends for a nu...Thank you Chloris, We have helped friends for a number of years who open for the NGS so know what is involved.
