Purple Sorbet® XP Viola Plant

Cool-season color with charming purple blooms

Charming purple flowers bring dependable color to annual beds, borders, window boxes, and mixed containers. Their compact habit makes them easy to tuck into small spaces or group together for a fuller display.

This cool-season favorite performs best during the cooler months and through mild winters. Plant it in full sun to partial shade for a bright, welcoming accent in the landscape.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Space plants to allow airflow, keeping the crown level with the soil surface.

2. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Check containers often, as they can dry out faster than garden beds.

3. Pruning: Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to keep plants tidy and encourage continued blooming. Trim back lightly if growth becomes stretched or uneven.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth, following label directions. Avoid overfertilizing, which can reduce flowering.
