Product description
Viola Violet is an elegant, hardy perennial commonly treated as a seasonal bedding plant, showcasing gorgeous, solid, rich violet-purple petals. Its lush, semi-evergreen leaves form a tidy tuft that looks spectacular when mass-planted in window boxes or used to underplant larger spring bulbs. These charming little flowers are highly attractive to early bees and also offer a light, pleasant fragrance on warm, sunny days.
This delightful variety performs best when situated in full sun to partial shade, ideally rooted in a high-quality, loamy compost. Ensure you water the plant thoroughly whenever the top layer of soil begins to feel dry, always allowing any excess moisture to drain away freely. Providing a gentle liquid feed and pinching out faded purple flowers will keep the plant vigorously producing fresh buds.
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.
