Green Thumb Sunday: Violas

by Amy on April 20, 2008

Earlier this week I wrote a post about my Tool Caddy Planter, which I set up on the front porch. Pansies and violas always seem to have little faces, and they’re a cheerful way to welcome visitors to your home.

I also planted some violas near the kitchen door and in the herb garden. This one is called Sorbet™ Coconut Swirl, and it’s nestled nicely in among the chives and garlic chives.

These are Sorbet™ Antique Shades, planted in this cute little wooden watering can planter that my sister-in-law gave me as a gift at my wedding shower a couple of years ago.

I alway prefer violas to their much bigger blousy cousins the Pansies

I love that rustic planter, and the violas look just perfect in it.

I love that planter! Adorable!

I also like Violas. I used to have them in my garden but they died out in the last year or two. I should get some more. ;)
