Description

There can be nothing better during the darkness of winter than seeing the bright, cheerful flowers of Violas. These little beauties light up the garden from autumn, all the way through winter and into spring.

Sorbet varieties have superb winter hardiness and will withstand the ravages of winter wind and rain incredibly well and maintain their composure when they get wet. They flower profusely yet remain neat and compact. Perfect for bedding displays, planters and hanging baskets. They also look great as ground cover between spring flowering bulbs, giving month after month of vibrant colour throughout winter when little else is in flower.

‘Tiger Eye’ produces lots of striking flowers that grow to 2.5 cm (1 in) across. They are a vibrant golden yellow colour with beautiful dark veining, especially at the centre, hence the name!

Supplied as 30 garden ready plants, ready to be planted out, reaching a height and spread of 15 cm (6 in).

Top Tips
  • Deadhead regularly and remove yellow leaves to encourage more flowers and keep the plants looking good.
  • Care Information
  • Give your garden ready plants a little attention on arrival - unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • If planting directly into flower beds when all risk of frost has passed, prepare the ground well, removing weeds and digging in some compost or well-rotted manure if your soil is not already rich.
  • Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow. Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Delivery Information

    Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.
