Product description
Viola Red is a spectacular, bold bedding plant celebrated for its rich, solid scarlet blooms that instantly warm up any garden space. Forming neat, bushy mounds of semi-evergreen foliage, this resilient plant is absolutely ideal for filling out the front of borders. The vibrant petals are highly attractive to early pollinators and bring a wonderfully festive feel to winter and spring displays.
Position this robust plant in a spot that receives plenty of light and ensure it is rooted in a high-quality loam. Water the soil regularly to maintain an evenly moist environment, being careful to let excess moisture drain away freely. Regular deadheading of the striking red blossoms will encourage a continuous, heavy flush of new flowers throughout the season.
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.
