Blooms when most other plants are resting.
Whether outdoors or in, the eye catching violet blooms of Dick Trotter adorn the area with bright colour, a sweet, heart-shaped form and plenty of late-season appeal. Though short in stature, the 5 cm flowers deliver loads of flair to borders, pots and rock gardens. Very showy and easy to grow, they even bloom indoors in a pot of soil or a vase of decorative rocks.
