Yes, they are hardy plants specifically chosen for their ability to continue providing color through the autumn and winter months.
Plant them at the same depth they were in the plug tray to ensure the stem base is covered but not buried too deeply in the compost.
Absolutely. Their compact and uniform habit makes them an excellent choice for both window boxes and hanging baskets.
A high-quality, free-draining multipurpose potting compost is ideal for young viola plants.
While the nutrients in fresh compost will sustain them initially, a balanced liquid fertilizer applied during the growing season can help sustain prolific flowering.
They will typically reach a height of approximately 20cm and a spread of 23cm.
Ensure the plugs were not damaged during transplanting and that the compost is moist but not soaking wet. Place them in a shaded area for a few days to recover from transplant shock.
Check for faded blooms that need to be removed (deadheaded). Also, ensure the plants are receiving enough light and are not overly crowded in their container.
The plants may be seeking more light. Move them to a sunnier position and consider pinching back the stems to encourage a bushier growth habit.
Upon delivery, your 42 plug plants will need immediate attention. Pot them into individual small containers or modules using high-quality multipurpose compost. Keep these in a frost-free, sheltered location like a greenhouse or cold frame to allow the root system to establish before transplanting them into your final pots or soil. Once established, ensure they are placed in a sunny or partially shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture levels in containers, but avoid waterlogging the roots. Deadheading faded flowers throughout the season will encourage the plant to put energy into producing new buds rather than setting seed.
