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

Viola 'Sorbet Yellow Jump Up' is a hardy bedding viola that gives masses of bright golden yellow flowers, each with a darker yellow face and that classic pansy look.

It is a compact, mounding, free-flowering plant with mid-green, oval to heart-shaped leaves. Flowers appear from autumn through to late spring, with the strongest flushes in cooler weather, so it keeps colour going when most bedding has finished. It copes well with winter weather and is a good choice for window boxes, hanging baskets, border edges and patio containers.

You receive 18 plants in 2 plastic 9-cell bedding trays, one plant to a cell, ready to plant out into borders, window boxes, baskets and containers. They grow best in full sun or partial shade, in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Enrich the soil with compost when planting and water regularly in dry spells, without letting the soil become waterlogged.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep the plants blooming, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks while they are growing well.
