Umuthi Viola Midnight Glow Edible Flowers Growing Seeds

Features

Description

Umuthi Viola Midnight Glow (Edible Flowers) Growing Seeds produce compact plants with near-black, deep purple petals and subtle yellow centres. The edible petals have a mild, meadow-sweet note and bring moody colour to salads, cakes, desserts, cocktails, drinks, small posies, and cake d*cor. These cool-season violas grow well in full sun to part shade with poor to moderately rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture.

Their compact habit makes them a strong choice for pots, borders, containers, window boxes, and small-space edible flower gardens. Why we love it: Midnight Glow has a dramatic, polished look that elevates both plates and planters. The deep petals and glowing centres make it a beautiful choice for special garnishes and cool-season container colour.
