Product description
Primrose Picotee brings a cheerful splash of colour to the garden with warm yellow flowers edged in purple creating a neat contrast that makes the blooms stand out. Darker markings towards the centre add further detail, giving this Viola a distinctive appearance that works particularly well in seasonal displays. Flowering from autumn through spring, it can keep borders, containers and hanging baskets looking colourful well after the main summer display has finished.
Easy to grow and naturally compact, Primrose Picotee is a versatile choice for both mixed and standalone planting. It performs well in a sunny or partially shaded position with moist, well-drained soil or compost, and removing faded flowers regularly can help encourage further blooms. The bright flowers work especially well alongside darker foliage or deeper-coloured seasonal bedding, creating contrast without making the overall display feel too busy.
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.

Instructions
Top Tip
Rotate hanging baskets occasionally so that the Viola receives a similar amount of light from all sides. This helps prevent the plant from leaning towards one direction and encourages a more evenly balanced display.
How to Water
Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly while Violas are establishing and during dry or windy weather. Check containers and hanging baskets regularly, as they can dry out more quickly than plants growing in the ground, and water when the surface of the compost begins to feel dry.
How to Plant
Plant Violas into moist, well-drained soil or fresh compost, positioning each plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding surface. Firm the compost or soil gently around the roots, then give the plants a good drink to settle them in and help them get established.
