Happy gardening!
Greetings from my Lavender Garden Cottage! I live in a lovely old 1890's cottage surrounded by beautiful flowers. I love the patina of old, worn, tarnished antiques and sell them in my Etsy shop. Welcome to my cottage lifestyle!

Flower of the Day - Viola Blue Moon
Today's flower of the day is Viola Blue Moon. This lovely tri-color violet has an improved tolerance for summer time heat though it still prefers to bloom during the cooler months in spring and fall. It does best in full sun in the cool months to part shade during the heat of the summer in lucky zones 5-8.

Flower of the Day - Viola Sorbet Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
Todays flower of the day is Viola Sorbet Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. This unique flower changes colors as it ages: yesterday they were almost white, today they are light blue and tomorrow they will be deep blue. These blooms are perfect for hanging baskets, bedding or borders or patio containers. They bloom prolifically in the cooler weather of spring or fall in the sun and fade back in the hot temps of summer when moved to the shade.
Happy gardening!
