Viola 'Sorbet White Jump Up' (Horned Violet) – White Hardy Bedding Plants (18 Plants in 2 x 9-Cell Trays)

Viola 'White Jump Up' is a classic, free-flowering bedding viola with pure white flowers and a delicate violet-blue blotch at the centre. You get 18 plants, growing in 2 trays of 9 cells with one plant to a cell.

Low-growing and compact, this hardy viola (Viola cornuta) flowers prolifically in spring and autumn, and carries on through mild winters. It is a favourite for reliable, easy-care colour, and it is frost hardy, so it copes with British winters.

Plant it in full sun or partial shade, in moist, well-drained soil or multi-purpose compost. It suits borders, rockery edges, window boxes, hanging baskets, containers and patio pots, and looks good on its own or in mixed seasonal planting.

Water regularly in dry spells, deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowers coming, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season.
