FAQs

Can I plant these in winter?

Yes, they can flower in winter, but only if you are located in a mild climate. In areas with harsh, freezing winters, they may go dormant.

How often should I water them?

Keep the soil consistently moist. Check the moisture level daily during hot or dry spells and water as needed.

Do I need to fertilize these Violas?

While they do well in good soil, applying a balanced liquid fertilizer during the peak blooming season can help encourage more vibrant growth.

Why did my plants arrive without many flowers?

Plants are often pruned back to encourage stronger root growth and future flowering. They will flourish once established in your garden.

Can these be grown in pots?

Yes, they are excellent for containers and hanging baskets, provided the pots have adequate drainage holes.

Troubleshooting

Plant looks wilted upon arrival

This is often due to the stress of transit. Water the plant thoroughly and keep it in a sheltered, shaded area for 24-48 hours to help it recover before planting.

Flowers are not opening or appearing sparse

Check that the plants are receiving sufficient sunlight. If they are in heavy shade, transplant them to a sunnier location.

Plant appears dormant or pruned back

This is normal based on seasonality. Follow planting instructions, and the plant will establish its root system and show new growth once the environmental conditions are right.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Planting: Remove plants from the arrival tray and place them directly into moist, well-drained soil at the same depth they were in the tray.
  2. Soil Requirements: Ensure the planting site offers good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can damage the roots.
  3. Sunlight: Position in a spot that receives full to partial sunlight for optimal flowering.
  4. Watering: Maintain a regular watering schedule to keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly remove dead blooms (deadheading) to encourage the plant to put energy into producing new flowers throughout the season.
