Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, inspect the 30 plants to ensure they are hydrated. If you cannot plant them immediately, keep them in a well-lit, cool area and ensure the root balls remain moist. When planting, incorporate a slow-release granular fertilizer into the soil to support continuous growth. Ensure the drainage in your pots or borders is sufficient, as violas do not thrive in waterlogged soil. During the season, pinch off spent flowers regularly; this prevents the plants from setting seed and encourages them to redirect energy back into producing new buds. During periods of frost, ensure that containers are not allowed to dry out completely, as wind can dehydrate the foliage.
