scented viola/pansy
I bought a wonderful pansy/viola this weekend. It's called Rebecca and is blue and yellow but pale the scent is absolutely wonderful and i could smell the three plants i bought all the way home in the car!! The warmer they are the more the fragrance comes out and I have to say I find many violas /pansies don't have any discernible scent -- Janet Tweedy |

I think something ate it, but it's compost by now. It's a lovely plant. Alas, I haven't got a nose, so hardly noticed the scent :~(. [As RG would say "My wife's got no nose" ... "How does she smell?" ...] There's usually a cheeky answer! :~)) -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

The warmer they are the more the fragrance comes out and I have to say I find many violas /pansies don't have any discernible scent I bought a planter of mini-violas last year. The plants sat by my front door all winter with no flowers. I think they may have been a bit dry, so when warmer weather came I watered them and within a week they were in full flower, and beautifully scented. In garden centres I go round displays of cyclamen and pansies picking up plants and smelling them. Some have scent, many do not, particularly cyclamen. Pam in Bristol |

Posting seeds would certainly be easier. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
