Description

Make your garden shine, even in the depths of winter, with Viola Sorbet 'Tiger Eye'. These eye-catching little powerhouses are full of personality, with bold golden blooms and dramatic veining giving it a real edge over ordinary bedding.

Part of the Sorbet series, these are reliable performers for the cold seasons. These plants stay neat and compact but flower prolifically, giving you months of colour from autumn to spring.

Each bloom is around 2.5cm across, with huge impact. The rich golden yellow petals are streaked with fine, dark lines that draw the eye, hence the name. Whether you�re planting them in pots, hanging baskets, or dotting them through the front of a border, they bring a warmth and intensity that lifts the whole space.

They're also pollinator-friendly, which is particularly helpful in early spring when bees are waking up and hunting for food.

Supplied as 30 garden ready plants, ready to be planted out.

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.
