You are right, Margaret the pots will stay outside over winter. If it snows I may just pop them under the porch roof just to stop the violas being flattened.

It would be very nice if we could do the same, especially as the cooler temps would mean that watering (my downfall when it comes to potted plants) isn't as much of an issue. Around here, the only green outside during winter is evergreen ;)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-81360445827093434202015-11-27T14:38:31.096+00:002015-11-27T14:38:31.096+00:00 I wonder how close the real colour will be to the...
