There can be nothing better during the darkness of winter than seeing the bright, cheerful flowers of Violas. These little beauties light up the garden from autumn, all the way through winter and into spring.
Sorbet varieties have superb winter hardiness and will withstand the ravages of winter wind and rain incredibly well and maintain their composure when they get wet. They flower profusely yet remain neat and compact. Perfect for bedding displays, planters and hanging baskets. They also look great as ground cover between spring flowering bulbs, giving month after month of vibrant colour throughout winter when little else is in flower.
?Tiger Eye? produces lots of striking flowers that grow to 2.5cm across. They are a vibrant golden yellow colour with beautiful dark veining, especially at the centre, hence the name.
Supplied as 60 pro + plug plants, ready to be grown on before planting out, reaching a height and spread of 15cm.
Care Information
- Give your plugs a little attention on arrival – unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour – they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they?ll quickly recover. If you can?t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
- We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- When you’re ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 3-4in pots (7-10cm).
- Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don?t like to be left in standing water.
- Grow on either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
- Primroses enjoy moist, well-drained soil. Established plants can be planted out anytime unless the soil is waterlogged or frozen.
- Dig a hole the same size as the plant?s root ball. Place the plant in position, firm down the soil and water.
- To prolong flowering, remove spent flower heads and remove any yellow leaves.
- Divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn.
