Availability: Out of stock
These violas are the epitome of instant gardening - you'll be able to position and enjoy these and their masses of flowers for weeks on end. Delivered covered in buds and blooms as pictured, nothing could be simpler.
Violas are generous plants, they are very easy to grow, adaptable, robust and hardy and provide a seemingly endless and abundant flowering season, wonderful scent and such an array of flower colours, shapes and sizes, trying to choose is like being a child in a sweet shop. In short, no garden can afford to be without them!
Flowering from Autumn right the way in to Spring, they will continue blooming through winter in all but the harshest weather. Perfect for beds, borders or patio planters.
Supplied as pictured in approx. 2 litre container, each pot containers several plants in different shades to provide a multi-colour effect. They're just starting to bloom now and will erupt in to a mass of flowers throwing out hundreds of individual blooms over the season.
For your Violas to flourish, they need a good depth of soil for their roots to spread into. So if planting in to other pots go for something at least 30cms deep and use good quality compost. If planting in the garden, make sure the soil is well cultivated, weed free and ensure you incorporate plenty of organic matter. Violas need regular deadheading to maintain their long season of flowering and they benefit from a light trim and tidy in July if appearing leggy. Cut back to within 2 inches from the base in early autumn to encourage fresh new basal growth. In hot dry weather ensure plants are kept well watered, and if growing in pots, apply a liquid feed regularly. They will enjoy full sun or partial shade.
