Product description
This ten pack of Viola Neptune bedding plants feature an array of colour throughout, with shades of blue yellow and black showing in the centre and outer sections of the petals. The brightness from their flowering goes extremely well against a backdrop of green foliage below, making the instant impact undeniable when placed in flower beds, or on their own in pots and containers. The flowering begins in Winter and through into 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. Maintain good exposure to full sunlight when possible and water the plant regularly, without overwatering.
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
Deadhead faded flowers frequently to encourage more blooms and keep the display looking fresh. Violas are perfect for spring and autumn bedding, providing long-lasting colour and pairing well with primroses, pansies, and other cool-season favourites.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry weather or in containers. Violas thrive in cooler conditions and dislike drying out, but good drainage is essential to avoid root issues in wet conditions.
How to Plant
Plant Viola bedding plants in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. These compact and free-flowering plants are ideal for borders, containers, and seasonal displays. Space plants 15–20cm apart to create a dense, colourful carpet of blooms.
