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

Yellow viola bedding plants bring cheerful, long-lasting colour to borders, containers, hanging baskets and window boxes. Their velvety yellow flowers are a cottage garden favourite and appear generously over a long season.

Viola cornuta and Viola x wittrockiana are compact, mounding and free-flowering, with mid-green oval to heart-shaped leaves. They are properly hardy, so they cope with cool weather and frost and will flower through mild spells in autumn, winter and spring. They also work well for mass planting, edging and mixed bedding displays.

You receive 18 plants, growing in 2 plastic trays of 9 cells with one plant to each cell. Plant them in full sun or partial shade, in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. They are happy in the ground or in pots, and they suit baskets and window boxes too.

Water regularly and avoid waterlogging. A balanced liquid feed every two to three weeks during the growing season helps them keep going. Remove spent flowers often to prolong flowering and keep the plants tidy.
