They open white, turn soft lavender and finish a deeper lilac-blue, so each plant carries all three shades at once. Part of the popular Sorbet series, this Viola cornuta (horned violet) is neat, compact and flowers freely through the cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolas are some of the hardiest and most reliable bedding plants, thriving in cool weather when many others struggle. They are a good choice for a window box, a patio container, a hanging basket or a border edge, and they keep flowering through mild winter spells and into spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 18 plants growing in 2 plastic 9-cell trays, one plant to a cell, ready to plant out or grow on.
