Product description
This six pack of Viola Delft Blue bedding plants have a gorgeous design within their petals, making them standout in flower beds and plant displays. A bright yellow bud features in the centre of the flower, with a slight black feature dispersing out from that, before white and purple fill out the rest of the flower to create a stunning, eye-catching look. These plants will flourish above lush, green foliage when they bloom in Autumn, right through to Spring. They can be planted straight from the tray upon arrival, flourishing with ease when given the correct care.
When planting these gorgeous Violas, moist, well-drained soil should be present, as well as good exposure to full sunlight when possible. When watering the plant, you should do so regularly, as that is recommended. Overwatering the plant will have harmful effects on the Violas, so please avoid this.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
The secret to keeping your violas flowering for a very long period is regular deadheading. At least once a week, go over the plants and pinch off any faded flowers, including the little stem behind them. This simple task stops the plant from putting energy into making seeds and encourages it to produce a continuous and impressive display of new blooms.
How to Water
Bedding plants in containers need watering more often than those in the ground, as pots dry out much faster. Thirsty, fast-growing varieties are more demanding than hardier types. For any bedding plant, the best guide is to feel the soil and only water thoroughly when the top layer is dry to the touch.
How to Plant
Choose a spot in sun or partial shade with well-drained soil, adding compost for nutrients and grit if your soil is heavy. Space the violas about 15-20cm apart for a dense display, ensuring you plant them at the same depth they were in their pots to prevent rot. Firm the soil around each plant and finish by giving them a thorough watering to settle the roots.
