Viola 'Boughton Blue'
Viola is a genus with an unusually wide distribution, through most of both northern and southern hemispheres. They include some widespread and easily grown British natives, and South American rosette-forming species that are almost impossible to cultivate. Sadly, we don't have that last group, but our list includes some that are rarely offered for sale in Britain. All have the characteristics viola or pansy flowers. Viola 'Boughton Blue' is an old favourite, going back 150 years, when it was named after the daughter of Mr Albert Mott of Sunningdale, Berkshire, in whose garden it was raised. It has large flowers, silvery mauve with a pale creamy centre, with a fine fragrance.
