Its two-tone flowers have rich violet-blue upper petals, a soft lavender-white lower face and a bright golden-yellow eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolas in the Sorbet series are bred for cold tolerance and a long flowering season. Morpho has a compact, mounded to slightly trailing habit and a butterfly-like flower form, with bright green, oval to heart-shaped leaves. Pansies have larger flowers on shorter-lived plants, while violas like this one are smaller flowered, tougher and keep going for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get 18 plants, growing in 2 plastic 9-cell trays with one plant to a cell. They suit beds, borders, window boxes, patio containers and hanging baskets, in full sun or partial shade. Autumn planting lets them settle in over winter and flower freely in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly in dry spells without letting the compost become waterlogged. Deadhead spent flowers often to keep new blooms coming, and give a balanced liquid feed every two to three weeks while they are growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viola, Pansy, Horned Violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viola x wittrockiana and Viola cornuta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15-20cm tall and 20-30cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, mounded to slightly trailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, borders and bedding schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green, evergreen, oval to heart-shaped leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn through to spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep violet-blue upper petals with a paler lavender-white lower face and golden-yellow centre eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy, tolerates frost and cool temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; deadhead regularly for continuous flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn, winter and spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68017049698524,"sku":"COL-9PK-VIO-SOR-MORX1","price":18.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/COL-9PK-VIO-SOR-MORX1-Wholesale1.png?v=1793631219","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-9pk-vio-sor-morx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
