FAQs
When is the best time to plant these?
These are best planted as soon as they arrive in early spring to take advantage of the cooler weather conditions.
Do I need to harden these plants off?
No, these are supplied as garden-ready plants which have already been prepared for outdoor conditions.
Can I plant these in the ground?
Yes, while they are excellent for containers, they also perform well in garden borders provided the soil is moist.
How often should I feed them?
For best results, use a liquid fertilizer every two weeks once the plants are established.
What happens if we get a late frost?
These violas are hardy and can tolerate the cooler spring conditions typically found in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Plants look wilted after planting
Ensure they are watered thoroughly upon arrival and the soil remains damp while the root system adjusts.

Care Tips:
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Feeding: Apply a liquid feed every two weeks once the plants have established in their new home.
- Deadheading: While these are prolific, removing spent flowers can sometimes encourage a second flush of blooms.
- Placement: Choose a location that offers either full sun or light, partial shade for the most vibrant color development.
