Rebecca' is hands down our best-selling viola. This cultivar offers impressionistic-looking flowers with cream, yellow and purple colours intermingled to form a beautiful vignette in the garden. Attractive from close up and showy from afar, 'Rebecca' is compact, tidy and long-blooming. As plants get leggy after blooming for months chop back by two thirds. Plants will quickly reflush with more growth and flowers.

Rebecca' is treasured for her divine vanilla fragrance and tidy compact clumps of dapper evergreen foliage. All are equally captivating, though no two are alike, each ebullient white flower showcases a creamy lemon flushed center and irregularly patterned, deep violet edges. This sweet smelling Viola should be ensconced near a well-traveled path or seating area, where its plentiful color flecked flowers can be easily relished 'till the first hard frost.

Similar to 'Etain' but with slightly smaller flowers that are marbled white and lavender and bear somewhat ruffled petals. Plants are also much more strongly scented.
