This colourful pack of six Viola plants will provide an abundance of colour to your garden and, on top of that, be easy to care for throughout the year. Blooming throughout the Summer months, before doing so again in the Autumn period, these plants will take minimal time to start flourishing once they're planted.

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.
