Product description
This 10-pack of Viola Orange Jump Up plants is guaranteed to brighten your outdoor space with a striking display of long-lasting flowers. Suitable for beds and borders as well as patio pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes, these Violas boast mid-green foliage decorated with bi-colour orange and purple flowers from March right through to October and the first frosts. These blooms act as a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies into the garden.
Closely related to Pansies, Violas are undemanding plants that are easy to grow and care for. They flourish in full sun or partial shade and prefer a moist but well-draining soil. Pinch spent flowers off as required to promote further flowering and extend the blooming period.

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.
