Product description
Viola Orange is a cheerful and vibrant bedding plant that produces an abundance of bright, striking orange flowers over a long blooming period. This compact, clumping beauty provides wonderful seasonal interest and perfectly bridges the gap between autumn and spring floral displays. With its sweet fragrance and pollinator-friendly open faces, it is a highly popular choice for gardeners looking to inject instant warmth into their outdoor spaces.
Plant these vibrant beauties in fertile, well-aerated soil where they can enjoy plenty of bright sunlight or dappled shade. It is important to keep the compost consistently damp, watering directly at the base to avoid wetting the foliage and risking powdery mildew. Snapping off the spent orange flower heads every few weeks will extend their magnificent blooming period well into the warmer summer months.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

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.
