Flowering for several months from late winter, the small faces of these pretty violas will bring lots of cheer to your pots, windowboxes and hanging baskets. They are incredibly prolific and will produce masses and masses of their dainty little flowers in a rich, velvety mix of colours. In time they will cascade over the edge of the pots, forming a trail up to 35cm long.

Grown in individual plug cells, each plant measures about 5 - 7cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They can be grown on or planted directly into your tubs, baskets or garden.

Please note that as we grow these for especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. See above for despatch dates for this particular plant. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually.

I'm a beginner and have never planted up a hanging basket before. These have given many months of beautiful flowers. The plugs I planted in containers now look great trailing over the sides, spilling out down the side of the pot. I'm really impressed and will definitely be buying again.

  Hello,
  
  I think the best displays are created when the baskets are very densely planted, so I would recommend using 25 - 30 plugs per 14" basket.
