Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Victoria's Blush' has masses of pale mauve-pink flowers with fine magenta rays and a magenta flush around the centre. The petals are narrower than other violas and do not overlap giving this cultivar a more dainty, less hybridized look that would well suit more naturalistic or subtle plantings. Long-blooming. As plants get leggy after blooming for months chop back by two thirds. Plants will quickly reflush with more growth and flowers.
