We waited for some warm Spring weather before planting these out, and now the cold and frost has returned. I feel that they're battling to survive - I hope they do! Nicer on black.
Cheering them on! Apparently the frostiest April on record, they say. Here's hoping May brings warmth and sunshine and higher temperatures. Lovely image.
Coldest April in the Netherlands since 30 yrs ....must be the same northern temperatures as you encounter, have great hopes for the violets, very sturdy flowers
