Product description
Viola Violet Face is a remarkably characterful bedding plant that features beautiful violet petals surrounding a distinct, contrasting whiskered centre. This captivating "face" pattern makes it a firm favourite for patio displays, where its intricate details and sweet scent can be closely appreciated. As a reliable, clumping variety, it provides excellent ground cover and impressive cold tolerance through mild winter weather.
Position your plant in a well-lit area with partial or full sun, ensuring it is planted in soil that drains easily to prevent root rot. Maintain a regular watering routine so the earth remains normally damp, especially if grown in smaller 9cm pots that can dry out quickly. Removing the old blooms and trimming back any leggy stems will encourage a much bushier habit and a longer-lasting floral display.
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.
