These premium plug plants offer professional-grade uniformity and a compact growth habit, making them perfect for containers, hanging baskets, and garden borders. While these violas are exceptionally hardy and flourish in fluctuating temperatures, they require consistent moisture and well-draining soil to ensure the most vibrant, long-lasting displays.

These are best planted during the autumn to establish roots for winter or early spring, though they can be planted in early spring for a fresh seasonal display.
Viola 'Teardrops' are cool-season performers. They will thrive in autumn, winter, and spring but may struggle or die back when the high heat of summer arrives.
For best performance in containers, use a balanced liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during the growing season to support continuous blooming.
Yes, they are specifically bred to be hardy and can withstand the typical fluctuations of British autumn and spring temperatures.
With an ultimate spread of 35cm, you should space them approximately 30-35cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Pot them up immediately into small pots with compost and water them well. Let them establish in a cool, bright spot for a few weeks before planting them outdoors.
Usually caused by insufficient light. Move plants to a brighter location and ensure they are not overcrowded.
Check drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes and do not let the plants sit in standing water, which can cause root rot.
Ensure the plants have enough space to spread (up to 35cm). If overcrowded, transplant them to provide better air circulation and nutrients.
Upon arrival, pot your plug plants into small 9cm pots using a good quality compost. Keep them in a well-lit, frost-free greenhouse or a cool, bright windowsill until they have established a strong root system. Once the plants are large enough and the risk of severe ground frost has passed, they can be transplanted to their final containers or garden beds. Ensure the planting site receives good light to encourage maximum flowering. Water regularly, especially in pots, as these plants prefer consistently moist—but never waterlogged—soil. Removing faded flowers (deadheading) will encourage the plant to put its energy into producing new, fresh blooms throughout the season.
