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.

Top Tip
Pair Violas with small evergreen plants (like Ivy or Dwarf Conifers) to give structure and contrast, making the flowers stand out more.
How to Water
Water Violas regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid waterlogging by ensuring good drainage, and reduce watering slightly in colder, wetter weather to prevent root problems.
How to Plant
Plant Violas directly into borders, containers, or hanging baskets, spacing them evenly to allow for growth. Firm the soil gently around the roots, water well after planting, and position in full sun or partial shade for the best display.
