The horned violets (Viola cornuta) from the 'F1 Sorbet XP Harvest mix' offer an abundance of small flowers in a palette of vibrant and warm colors. The uniform flowers are dressed in yellow, purple and orange, delicately adorned with small black moustaches. A perfect collection to brighten up gardens and balconies from autumn, and again at the end of winter, reaching its peak between March and June. These biennial hybrid violets are early, vigorous, and floriferous, easy to grow in humus-rich and moist soil, in sun or partial shade.
Belonging to the violet family the horned violet, which grows wild in the Pyrenees, is a low perennial plant that has given rise to many hybrids. Often crossed with Viola tricolor, their most famous descendants are horticultural pansies. The mix of varieties in 'F1 Sorbet XP Harvest Mix' form herbaceous plants that carpet the ground, reaching 10 to 15 cm (5.9 in) in flower height, with dark green, persistent, ovate, and crenate leaves, forming a spreading tuft. They are covered in flowers from autumn, in a palette of vibrant and warm colors. Yellow, orange, and purple, with small black moustaches, they all have a tiny white and bright yellow heart in common. Flowers resemble those of small pansies but with petals arranged differently: the two upper ones are erect, the other three inclined downwards. The plant spreads quite rapidly thanks to its rhizomes and also self-seeds very easily in the garden, not always faithfully.
Horned violets are intended for low flowerbeds and borders, as well as pots and balconies, where they will combine well with other spring and summer flowering plants (Forget-me-nots, Dwarf daffodils, Daisies, Primroses, Botanical tulips, summer and autumn asters, etc.). The flowers of horned violets are edible, so don't hesitate to decorate your plates with a few or even to add to salads for a touch of colour.
Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible into pots, or directly into flower beds.
Flowering

Plant habit
Botanical data
Horned violets prefer a light, humus-rich soil that is moist but well-drained as they dislike excessive humidity in winter. In heavy soil, add some sand to improve drainage.
Plant horned violets in a sunny but not scorching site or in light shade.
Very floriferous and fast-growing, they are greedy plants. Feed with liquid fertiliser for containers once or twice a week during the growing season. Water regularly but not excessively. Remove faded flowers to promote new blooms.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
